This is real a question with various answers. But the real an swer to the question of how much is simply,“as much as youwant.” A “normal” measurement for dry hopping is between 1–2oz.(28–56g) of hops for a five gallon(19L) batch. If you want just a hint of hop aroma you might go as low as a1/2oz.(14g). If you want a beer that will knock you over with a pungent hop flavor and aroma,you might decide to go nuts and throw in 4oz.(112grams). I’ve heard some brewers using even more than this,but even a serious hophead like myself will tell you that more than four ounces of dry hops maybe pushingit.
My advice for your first trial with dry hopping would be to pick a traditional aroma hop and use not more than 1 ounce(28g).This will give you a good idea of what dry hopping does for a beer. From there you are only limited by your own sense of adventure in deciding what hops to try and how much to use.
