I just brewed the Dogfish Head 90m clone recipe, and it calls for 4oz of dry hops. I've never used more than 2oz in any of my IPA recipes and still get a pretty powerful face punch from the aroma. Note: all my dry hopping is in the keg.
It got me thinking, at what point in a 5g recipe are you just wasting hops? If anyone has a link to a study, or real world comparisons (dry hopped similar batches with 4oz, and another with 10oz, for example), I'd be curious to hear about it.
I would assume there's a point of diminishing returns where adding another ounce or two has a negligible impact.
