How do you hang them in the cornies? Or do you just drop them in? Also they will work with pellets right? Thanks guys.

I boil the hop ball first to sanitize, them I use a piece of unwaxed dental floss that has had a quick swirl in some starsan. With the floss tied onto the ball drop it down into the keg leaving a tail of the floss hanging out. Close the lid, and the ball call only suspend as far down as the floss will go. The lid gasket will seal fine, and when you think the beer is ready just pop the lid and yank 'er out. Works like a charm for me.
