Hey I just mashed in my red pale ale

.25 warrior at 10
.75 warrior at 1
.25 glacier at. 1

Dry hop
.25 warrior
.5 cascade

Im trying to keep the ibus below 50 (I think)
And I want great aroma. And flavor

I also have a bit of cluster and liberty.

Help. Before boil starts please
 
thought: even out your 10 and 1 minute additions:

.5 warrior at 10
.5 warrior at 1

the dry-hopping will provide a lot of aroma, so it might be prudent to nudge a little more hops to the flavor side during the boil.

ok and ill get more flavor if I do a half at 10 and half at 1?
 
originally you had 0.25 oz at 10 mins and 1.0 (total) at 1 min.

hops added between 15 and 10 minutes contribute mostly to flavor.

hops added at 5 mins and less (up to flamout) provide mostly aroma.

dry-hopping provides mostly aroma.

therefore, if you're planning on dry-hopping (and getting some aroma that way), you might not need as many 5-to-flameout (AKA aroma addition) hops. so might as well shift them to the flavor additions.
