Black IPA - Dry Hop?

[cochised]

Did a black IPA partial last Sunday

OG of 1048 or so

Was hopped with Cascade and Galaxy

Ferm has slowed down a good bit after 4-5 days so am considering racking to a secondary and dry hopping

Have Cascade and Simcoe so if anybody has any advice on amounts and time to leave them in there it would be great

Personally, I'd probably use them both because you have other hop flavors going on. An ounce of each should give you a nice bouquet, or 2 oz total. I've used up to 7 oz to dry hop, but that was a beer that would fill up the room with hoppy goodness. If you drink it fresh, 2 oz should be good per 5 Gal. :rockin:

Enjoy

Just made a black IPA myself recently, which I also dry hopped. I would not dry hop any longer than a week for best results. Do it at the end of your secondary. Mine was 1 oz Citra and 1 oz Centennial for 5 gallons. So maybe 1 oz of each of yours (agreeing with homebrewdr).

I think I'll transfer on Sunday (a week in primary) and then maybe keg next Saturday.

May just be ready in time for Super Bowl Sunday
