Out of my comfort zone here but to weigh down hop bags my ' glass beads' are the sons marbles some 30 odd years old
I don't think age of your marbles is an issue, just make sure they are sterile before using.
Whatever you do, don't lose your marbles!
 
Thanks everyone for this thread. I’m also brewing Punk IPA this weekend. I’m using their 2007 recipe and I thought I had everything ready to go until I read this thread and realised it’s ‘extra’ pale.... duh! I have Muntons MO, Lager and Pale Ale Planet available, but no extra pale. Decision time...
 
I used Brewtarget software to scale the recipe to 17 litres in order to match my stove top setup.
While checking the recipe I found that I actually used 3kg Maris Otter and 1kg Extra Pale. I had previously forgotten about the Extra Pale.
Below is the scaled recipe with some hop substitutions. I couldn't find Ahtanum at that time and replaced with Willamette. Also, the scaled recipe called for 9 gr. of Amarillo and I though it's not worth buying a pack of Amarillo and use only 9gr. as I'm not planning to brew anything with Amarillo in the coming months. So I increased the Cascade instead of adding Amarillo.

I also tweaked a bit the bittering hops in order to limit the IBU to about 40 as I don't like the beer too bitter.
For the dry hopping I rounded up the hops to the nearest gram and where only a few pellets were left in the package, I added them too.

I bought one of these for dry hopping and this beer was the first time I used it. Basically, just sanitised the mesh filter, put the hops in and submerged it in the fermenter 5 days after pitching the yeast. Then left it in for 7 days.

I wonder what do you mean when you said your dry hopping was not successful?
Were you happy with the Maris Otter Extra Pale mix
