Received extra hops, what to do?

Hello,

Brewing my first Partial Mash, a Cascade Pale Ale Partial Mash kit from Midwest Supplies.

3.3lb. of Light Malt Extract
4 lb. American 2-row malt
8 oz. Carapils
8 oz. Caramel 10L
3 oz. Cascade pellets (60, 15, 5)

On advice I read, I also picked up 1 oz of Cascade for dry hopping.

But low and behold, I have 5 oz of Cascade in the box! Should I make use of this extra hops, or just save it in the fridge for the next brew?

Follow your muse. She will tell you what to do.

I would consider dry hopping.

She tells me to ADD MORE HOPS! But where?

I've already got 1 oz ready for dry hopping, would you increase it to 2 oz?

1.5oz dry hop for one week works out really nice ime.

Sounds good. That'll leave me with an extra .5oz, should I throw that in at the 15 min mark or just get rid of it?

Thanks! Any tips for the partial mash?

I'd toss it in at flame out.

Thanks for the help everyone, done brewing for the day.

I hit a SG of 1.042 (kit calls for 1.042-1.046). Is there a way for me to calculate efficiency?
