Style: American IPA Dry Hops
Recipe Type All Grain
Boiling Time(minutes) 60min
Boil Size(L) 24.25L
Batch Size (L) 20.25L
Mash efficiency (%) 75
Est Attenuation (%) 1.057-1.014/1.057-1×100=75.43(US-4 ×2(23.0g))
Est Loss Gravity 5.7/131×10=0.43%
Meas Loss Gravity
Est OG 0.43/75-1=1.057 Brix
Meas OG Brix
Est FG 1.057-0.043=1.014
Meas FG
Est ABV (%) 1.057-1.014×131.25=5.64
Meas ABV(%)

Don't worry too much about exact hop amounts for dry hopping.

Usually, 1-2 oz (30-60g) for 3-5 days after fermentation is complete will work.
 
I brew 3 gallon batches and I use 1.5-2.5 oz for dry hopping (5 days).
you may want to start with that. Since you are brewing an IPA, you may want to add a large zero hop addition (2-3 oz), maybe even more. But start on the low side and add on your next batch.
 
After flameout, hops don't add anything but flavor/aroma...a less exact science than needed for boil additions of grain and hops.
