Ahtanum Pale Ale - dry hopping advice

[dcHokie]

I brewed up a modified version of AHS' Ahtanum Pale Ale PM recipe:

3 lb 2-row
8 oz crystal 60
8 oz carapils
4 lbs extra light DME
1 oz Ahtanum @ 60
1 oz Amarillo & .5 oz Ahtanum @ 15
1 oz Amarillo & .5 oz Ahtanum @ 5
washed Wy1056 cake, OG 1.058

I'll dry hop w/ 1-2 ozs and I have a bunch of the following on hand:
centennial, fuggle, summit, crystal, n brewer, simcoe, warrior, cascade

Sooo peanut gallery, any dry hopping suggestions??

centennial and simcoe to add to the amarillo and ahtanum.

I'd want to taste what you have done so far and decide at that point. Generally however I like to dry hop with hops already in the beer unless I am not liking how it turned out. I like Simcoe as a dry hop but it usually takes center stage and the rest of the hops fade out for me. YMMV !

mayhaps i'll split this batch up and just dry hop half of her

I recently made an all-ahtanum blonde ale that is awesome... errrr, WAS awesome. Dry hop with them.

I've never used Ahtanum hops before, but I recently used Warrior as a bittering hop and I was impressed. Very clean, sharp bittering. Maybe bump an oz of Ahtanum @ 60 min in exchange for Warrior and instead use that 1 oz of Ahtanum for dry hopping?

this was my first time w/ Ahtanum too, buy they were gentle.

I brewed this batch last week, but based on the feedback I'm going to pick up some addl Ahtanums for the other half of the batch
