I'm planning on doing a SMaSH with some Challenger hops and Pilsner Malt. (It's essentially a clone of Double Mountain's Vaporizer IPA.) Since it's going to be a rather hoppy beer so I decided on doing a bunch of late additions, but I figured I could also do some dry hopping with the Challengers. My only fear is that with this much late hopping followed by the dry hopping I might run the risk of getting a rather vegetal note especially since I am only using pilsner malt and there isn't anything else that might mask the flavor. I am just wondering if I'm being too cautious or if I should just go ahead with it...

Recipe below:

I think you're worrying too much. Plenty of excellent recipes have late additions. I made a SMaSH with domestic pale ale malt and cascade with very similar numbers and it was wonderful.

Ought to be interesting with the Abbey II!

I wouldn't dream of making an IPA without late hop additions and dry hopping. (Except perhaps if I had a nightmare.)

Like 944 says, run with it, No worries. I find late additions to be different than dry hopping. Different layers. Your usage looks like something I have done.
