So I made 10 gallons of a Pliny Clone Imperial IPA. It just went to the secondary and I got about 8 gallons (lots of trub). Should I adjust the amount of dry hops (*.8)??

Thanks in advance!

Did you really loose 2 full gal in transfer? DANG! I would just use em. Its aroma so its not going to change the flavor profile except, the flavor and smell sense being so closely connected. How many oz dry hops?
 
I wouldn't. 20% more is 20% better... unless you're really interested in cloning the commercial brew exactly.
 
Im going for it all. Yeah I lost a lot from just the junk at the bottom. It takes about 16 ounces on brew and 16 ounces dry hop so there is lots of sediment. Next time I will brew it with a few extra gallons. I will post how it turns out.
