I just racked my IIPA to the secondary and naturally want to dry hop it to the gills. I bittered with 1.25 oz magnum and boiled 0.5 oz each of citra and centennial for 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0 min. I don't want to dry hop with too much citra since I found it to be overpowering in its fruitiness the last time I did this.
Centennial is one of my favorite hops, so I definitely want to include an ounce of it. I've got 2 oz crystal plugs in the fridge. I like their aroma, but I'm concerned that the aroma of the rest of my hops would simply overpower that of the more subtle crystal. I was thinking about dry hopping with 1-2 oz centennial and 2 oz crystal.
Any ideas? Should I get more crystal, forget it and do all centennial, or something else?
