1 oz. chinook 10.2% AA 60 min. Store bought

Should i use any cascade hops to dry hop or will they take away from the chinook.

Looks awesome. If you want to dry hop, maybe use the 2 oz you have set aside for 5 min and flame out? Those are aroma hops anyway, so why not get the good ol' dry hop punch from them?

I have a s#$t load of hops to use, I thought it was not a good idea to use home grown for dry hopping due to possible infection s from insects? if i were to use them should i use dried or fresh off the vine . I have plenty to go both ways.

Thanks

Homegrown Chinook is what I've been using. Has helped me make a pretty darned nice IPA. Absolutely yes use it for dry hopping too. Enjoy!

+1, I used 8oz of Chinooks in my special red and it is awesome, you might try some FWH also, or hops in the mash, etc.
