I am looking for some guidance on mixing the following hops in a 1060-ish West Coast IPA. My basic plan was Magnum for bittering and then 1-2 dry hops from a combination of the following. Feel free to suggest otherwise.
Lupomax pellets:
Chinook
El Dorado
Citra
Cascade
Pellets from Hop Heaven:
Willamette
Pekko
Magnum
Saaz
Edelweiss
I was planning to borrow the grain bill from this 2022 NHC Gold medal winner. NELSON! American IPA: NELSON! American IPA - Beer Recipe - American Homebrewers Association
Yeast will be Bry-97 or Verdant IPA.
Thanks!

IMO, none of the HH stuff is appropriate for dry hopping a WCIPA. I’d go for Chinook and either Cascade to stay trad or Citra for a more modern style.
Thanks. I just included the hop heaven ones in case there was some combo I didn’t know about.

I have been using this the past few WCIPA iterations. https://lagersandales.net/best-hops-combinations/
Thanks. That’s on HopDen’s website link too.
