Hey all.. Im brewing the Northern Brewer Plinian Legacy IIPA (extract) this weekend and I have 3 extra ounces of Chinook pellets to play with.. Im looking for some suggestions on how to pull out that "piney" flavor/aroma and get the biggest bang for my bucks.. I have done this beer before, but my thought last time was I should try to get some more resinous pine in the mix. I love that flavor.. Any and all ideas are welcome.. I will be doing a full boil on brew day, dry hopping after fermentation, and dry hopping in keg.. Thank you in advance...

Im not worried about the "Pliny" aspect, I just would like a dank, piney, and citrusy beer..
 
Maybe try replacing the 45 min edition with 1 oz chinook and 20 min edition with 2 ounces chinook. Or add the 3 ounces in the whirlpool.
