Steel weight for dry hopping

Hello all, I was hoping for some insight on this.

When dry hopping a brew the bag tends to float on the surface. I was wondering if a large ball bearing would allow the bag to stay immersed (increasing contact with the beer) but have no idea what kind of steel would be appropriate and safe.

Any ideas?
Cheers

I just chuck a spoon in the hop bag.
I sanitise it first

Spoons for me....when I bagged hops. I reverted to just chucking them in.

Same here. Chuck them in loose.

Although, I don't actually dry hop any more, it's all hop stands for me.

I have a lovely big flint in the bottom of my dominoes bag in my wine.

I'd have thought the dominoes would be heavy enough to sink the bag!

Nah. Oak dominoes are utter pita to start with until they get water logged.

I do wonder what colour & condition they will in when they come out

You probably won't be able to see the dots.
