When to dry hop and what amt of hops?

[efweber91]

Hey,

I'm brewing an all Chinook IPA and making up a recipe by combining a few clones. I brewed it on Sunday and want to know when the optimal time to dry hop it would be? I am planning on letting it ferment for 2 weeks at 65 degrees then going to cold crash for 1 week at 35 degrees, then bottle.

Also, how much Chinook should I add when I dry hop? 1 oz? I'm using pellets.

Batch size - 5 gal
Hopping schedule -
1 oz chinook - 60 min
.5 oz chinook - 10 min
.5 oz chinook - 1 min

Dry hop after fermentation has stopped for about 4 days to a week at 70 degrees. How much hops you use is personal preference.. for an IPA personally I would use 4oz + for dry hopping 5 gallons

This recipe has become one of my favorite "not in your face" IPAs. There is only one ounce of Chinook for dry hopping. I dry hop this one for seven days then bottle. This recipe at an OG of 1.053 is a pleasant session IPA.
