So I have 3 x 5 gallon buckets of IPA that I want to dry hop. I have about 6 ounces of Cascade and 6 ounces of Columbus. I've used cascade a lot to dry hop and I like it a lot but find it's all citrus (grapefruit) and perhaps a little "thin". I'm hoping the "dank" descriptions i've read for Columbus is the "depth" I'm craving.
I was thinking I'd dry hop 3 different ways...50-50, 1/3-2/3 and 2/3-1/3 but wonder how much. Initial thought was total of 2 ounces per 5 gallons for 5-7 days in a hop sack.
I'm looking for your thoughts on quantities and "blends". maybe 25-75 splits makes more sense with a 50-50 "control"...?
I don't want to overwhelm the cascade though.
Thanks for answering.
