	Amen to that last.  I did that once when dry-hopping, and it took me 
forever to get the adhering petals (sepals?) off the inside of the carboy.

Nowadays, when I dry-hop, I use a Cornelius keg for a secondary, and 
put plug hops in a sanitized bag, which I tie off and drop in through the 
clean-out.  That way they're easy to fish out.  Recommended.
