I am brewing an IIPA using 16.5lb pilsner and 1.7 lbs victory target og of 1.083 for 6 gal batch. I have 2 oz Cascade at 7.8AA , 1 oz Summit at 14AA and 0.5oz admiral at 13.5AA. I plan on dry hopping with an oz each of summit and cascade. I've been reading all this stuff about late hop additions but I'm worried about getting enough IBU for this big a beer. I think a lot of people add high alphas first as bittering but this may not be as applicable anymore with such high quality hops available that high alpha hops now seem to have much smoother bitterness for all that aroma and flavor. any suggestions on what to add when would be appreciated. may even consider "continuous" hopping as in DFH 90 min.
