I dry-hopped with one ounce of Cascade and Amarillo whole leaf...so I should dry hop for 14-20 days (based on your reccomendation of 7-10 days per variety)?+2 7-10 per variety.

Per variety they mean per addition. You can go 2 oz cascade 7 days, yank it and drop 2 oz of centennial 7 days, yank it and drop 2 oz summit (my fav) 7 days for 21 days total- 3 varieties.Or drop an oz of all 3 for 7 days, yank, and drop an oz of all 3 again for an additional 7 days.I dry-hopped with one ounce of Cascade and Amarillo whole leaf...so I should dry hop for 14-20 days (based on your reccomendation of 7-10 days per variety)?

Seems less efficient than simply adding them to the keg.Anyone just transfer from keg to keg through a bed of fresh hops? An upstream Randal, so to speak.

It's not about efficiency, it's about excuses to score new tools and contraptions. Haven't you learned anything?Seems less efficient than simply adding them to the keg.

Yes, I've learned that hops are expensive and so I try to get everything I can from them.It's not about efficiency, it's about excuses to score new tools and contraptions. Haven't you learned anything?
I use whole hops with a Sure Screen.When you guys dry hop in the keg, what type of hops do you use (i.e. pellet or whole leaf) and do you put the hops in a weighted bag?

I don't know, is it? Could be more efficient for all I know. You're sure increasing the amount of contact the beer has with the hops, especially if you use pellets.Seems less efficient than simply adding them to the keg.

First of all, I'd never use pellets to dry hop if I could help it. Second, you're decreasing contact time, not increasing it.I don't know, is it? Could be more efficient for all I know. You're sure increasing the amount of contact the beer has with the hops, especially if you use pellets.

Yes, but you're drastically increasing contact area, i.e. more beer is coming in contact with the hops.First of all, I'd never use pellets to dry hop if I could help it. Second, you're decreasing contact time, not increasing it.
