Matt, did you mean 10 oz for just the dry hopping in your 2 beers, or total amount?

An okay starting point is about 4oz per 5 gallons all the way up to 12oz per 5 gallons.

10 oz. was just the dry hop for 10 gallons. There were also about 10 oz. in the whirlpool. 1/2 oz. at 60 min was the only boil addition.

OK, that helps. Looks like I need to up my WP hops.

Good article on brewing NE IPAs today. More detail about hopping rates and specific recipe amounts from the brewer at Weld Works.

Thanks for sharing the article. On the topic of yeast, the article and others talk about low flocculation strains but 1318 isn't, or at least is listed as high on wyeast's website. So is it more the attenuation at play or something else?

[Matt F]

Seems backwards to me. The recommended strains are high flocculators. 007 drops out like an anchor with regular fermentation techniques. Article should say medium to high flocculators IMO.

A big take away I would like to emphasize is don't set out to make a hazy beer. The beer is hazy as a result of the techniques used to get the favors and aroma you want. Haze is just a by-product.
