Let me know what you think about the hop bill for this IIPA. Is there such a thing as adding to many hops to the point where they aren't contributing anything anymore?

10 Gal batch
Est. OG 1.084
Est. IBUs 115
68% Efficiency
90 Min Boil

23# 2 Row
5# Munich
1.5# Crystal 40
1# Cara-Pils

FWH
2 oz Centennial

15 Min
3 oz Citra
2 oz Centennial

5 Min
2 oz Amarillo
2 oz Belma
2 oz Cascade
2 oz Mosaic

Haven't really worked out dry hopping yet but is this something that is doable or is it a waste of hops?

Thanks for the input:mug:
 
That is a ton of hops.

The only recommendations I have are to ditch the 15 min addition of citra and use it for dry hop. The less you boil citra the happier your beers will be. Also see if you can get some Magnum for bittering instead of centennial.

Do you know if there is a point of diminishing return where this just becomes a wasteful use of hops?

Ill move the Citra to dry hopping and I have a little bit of magnum left I can use for the FWH.
