For a 100 ibu 1.090 beer, Simcoe bitter, cascade flavor, Willamette aroma... would 2 ounces of Willamette in a bag in the keg be enough?

I'd consider 2oz the bare minimum, but that's just my tastes. Personally, I'd do 2 oz each of all 3 hop varieties if it were my beer, but I admit that I have a bit if a hop problem.

Mmmk, glad I asked. How about 2 Willamette 2 cascade? Not sure I want Simcoe aroma though I dig them bittering.

Hey be sure if you do all your dry hopping in keg that you do it @ room temp for say a week.  I do my dry hopping in the fermenter for a week, and then add an ounce to the keg when I put it in the kegerator.  Regardless of which vessel you dry hop in, the temp of 60 - 70 ish is what will extract the really good hop flavor and aroma. I just add the extra oz at kegging for a little extra hop freshness, but it's the room temp hopping that'll give you what you're looking for.

Roger that. I'll keep keg in the fermentor freezer controlled at 65 for a week or two before putting it in the kegerator.  Kegendary?

Cool. From now on I'm using that term. Kinda has a beer geek ring to it.

Yep.  You can do your kegendary in the "hopinater".

Why not a bowl of assorted hops, drizzle a little mirror pond on it and chow down
