actual IBU analysis shows that there is actually more bitterness from FWH than a 60 minute addition though.

I know it SAYS that, but it doesn't TASTE that. I've made some IPA's in the 80 IBU range that have the bitterness of a pale ale with the hop flavor of a monster IPA.

Also, dry hopping the keg is something I always do with a Pale or IPA. I got tired of the stainless herb balls opening up on me and started using panty hose as a hop sock to dry hop with. Just cut one in half, put the hops in, and tie the ends up. Cheap and easy.
