Tomorrow I'll be starting my second try at an IPA. The first one I made
I dry hopped whole hops in the secondary. Has anybody ever used hop
plugs to dry hop? Will they "expand" or will I have to "break" them up
a bit?
Thanks!

No need to break them up. I put them in the carboy then rack to the
carboy - works OK they absorb wort and disintegrate in no time.
Primary works well too - but they will plug the blow off tube and blow
the tube off.
