NEIPA recipe feedback

Am I pushing the envelope if I add more hops to the dry hop or whirlpool?

More hops doesn’t always equate to better. Can you properly and effectively minimize o2 pick up? If so, the. Yes you can push it a little further. As stated earlier, 1oz of LUPOMAX is equivalent to the same lupulin concentration of 1.8-2.0 oz of its T90 counterpart, so your hoping at an equivalent 3.75-4 oz per gallon, so you are near the 8lbs/bbl which is near the absurd numbers as this is only going to be 6.5-7.0% beer. 5lb/bbl is where the majority of the absolute best hoppy breweries settle for a single ipa.

Yes, there will be minimal o2. I built a fermonster with QD bulkheads & floating dip tube and am going to do your approach to sanitize the keg/push out sanitizer with fermentation CO2 and then do a closed transfer.

Though, some say they use equal amounts of Lupomax to t-90. If you think it'll be hoppy as is then I can go as is and add more if needed next time

I think you are good to go with your recipe as is

Is there currently more or less a consensus over here on LUPOMAX dosage over T90 pellets?
So far, the recommandation I heard most often was to dose LUPOMAX at ca. 70% of what you would do when using T90 pellets.
In that case, 1 oz LUPOMAX would be more like 1.4 oz of T90 rather than the 1.8 - 2.0 oz you cited.
However if your experience says you can reduce by half (or nearly) relative to T90, I'll be more than happy to follow your advice, because LUPOMAX is damn expensive, at least over here...
Previously I was using Cryo combined with T90...cryo at the generally recommended rate of 50%, which was good. However in the meantime the prices for Cryo have increased beyond reasonable levels at my local online store. That is why I would like to change to LUPOMAX, which is not nearly as expensive right now.

I’ve always based it off this that says 50-70% (I actually thought it was 50-60% when I responded to @RyPA) which would be 1 oz of LUPOMAX to roughly 1.5-2.0 oz of t90 (for simplicity purpose)

I’ve always used it at the rate that I posted originally and I like the results but my dosing looks incorrect based on the info coming from HAAS which is specifically 70% to t90

Thanks! I think I'll then go with 60% which is the middle of the range from the link you posted. What I remarked is that LUPOMAX seems to be generally lower in alpha acids than cryo...so that would support the notion that it is a bit less concentrated of a product than cryo. On the other hand, I don't know if alpha acids concentration directly translates to hop oils concentration, the last ones being obviously the things that interest us more in such a product...

4 days from pitching and I think it's done fermenting. I'm debating dry hopping now, so I can keg in 3 days, or dry hop in a few more days.
