I am making my first IIPA. I entered all of the details into BeerSmith and is gave me the boil volume that I expected given my parameters. The question I have is that this beer requires a lot of hops. 9oz in the boil and 5oz to dry hop, to be exact. Do I need to adjust my boil volume to account for those 9oz of hops? Like maybe an additional .5 gallon or something (I have no idea). I do know that dry hoping also absorbs liquid, is there a rule of thumb on that? How much is absorbed per 1oz of dry hoped pellet hops? Is it bad to squeeze the hop bag to get as much beer back?
