Question with Dry Hopping:
I just tasted my pale ale yesterday. My FG is at 1.012. Giving my ABV at 6.3%. It tastes pretty damned incredible. I am going to dry hop and i'm curious at the suggestions.
I have .33 oz of citra pellets and .25 oz of cascade pellets and i have the following whole leaf hops.
I think i know the answer to this, but would whole leaf hops give any better flavors than pellet? I know that pellet is higher alpha acid, so i think i already know that you'll get stronger flavors from pellet hops. Also, of the hop varieties i have, what would you dry hop with?

I've dry hopped with both types of hops and had good results. The only real difference I found between the two was that I found the leaf hops sucked up more beer so there was less going into the keg afterwards.
of the varieties you posted I would probably dry hop with the Centennial, Columbus, and Citra.

You get more utilization out of pellets, the alpha acid % is the same. So unless you are boiling the hops the flavor will be the same. Alpha Acid % has little to no effect when dry hopping.

I'd dry hop with the Citra and Cascade. But that's just me. I'm on a big time citrusy hop kick.
Zappos sells hops now?
