Dry hopping amounts

[Raouldiggler]

I am going to be doubling a 5 gal recipe to match my 10 gal equipment profile. Would I need to double up the dry hop amounts as well?

yeah that's pretty much the rule of thumb. you can basically just do ratios for just going 5 to 10 gallons

of course tripling the dry hop amounts wouldnt hurt either...

So ranger creak OPA on beersmith cloud would be 6 oz of dry hops? Seems like a lot.

Well it is a hop based pale ale after all. I usually use at least 4oz in dry hops for my hoppy beers (5gal batch) so I dont think 6oz for 10gal is unreasonable

The right amount of dryhops is "more".
