Dry hopping cascade

[S.R.S]

If I dry hop cascade pellets and leave them for a week. What would the recommended amount to use and would a week be too long?
I don't want it overly hoppy just enough to add a nice taste.
The kit is an all extract coopers apa .

If it's 5-6 gallons, then anything from 2 oz ( I guess ) to 5-6 oz. Don't dry hop for 7 days. 2-3 days is enough at room temperature or below.

If you don’t want an overly hoppy aroma then I would do 1 to 2 ounces max. 3 or 4 + is good for an IPA but that doesn’t sound like what your looking for. 2-4 days should be enough

My experience is that 1oz give you a pretty good aroma. 3 to 7 days is normal but I have left them for 2 weeks without a problem.

1oz for 2-3 days has always been optimal for Cascade for me

From what it seems you are looking for I would also suggest going low on the amount, probably 2 ounces. I have dry hopped to 5 days and to 2 weeks, I haven't noticed much difference between the timings. When I started dry hopping the standard advice was almost always 5 - 7 days. Shorter seems to be a more recent idea.

I recentLy did a munton IPA kit and used just an ounce of cascade and even before putting the pellets in, that stuff is pretty potent. Very strong citrus aroma to it. I don't like a over hoppy IPA, but what I got from just 1 ounce was pretty tasty, and not too "tart" which is the best way I can describe an IPA.

I recall reading on here that 4-5 days was ample, and that too much cascade can overbare your beer. From my single attempt, I'd have to think that more than 2 ounces would give you super tart IPA.
