Perfect opportunity to split the batch and hop 1/2 in one and 2/3 in other!

I'd go half. Dry hops are for wimps.

I brewed this clone recipe from joking last Sunday with ingredients from Joking using equipment made by Joking.
It was my first ever brew, and considering such I think it went pretty well.
Ruination Clone
14-C Imperial IPA
Original Gravity: 1.074 (1.070 - 1.090)
Terminal Gravity: 1.015 (1.010 - 1.020)
Color: 21.65 (15.76 - 29.55)
Alcohol: 7.83% (7.5% - 10.0%)
Bitterness: 146.9 (60.0 - 120.0)
Ingredients:
7.7 kg Golden Promise Pale
.6 kg Caramalt 33
85 g Columbus (14.2%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
57 g Centennial (9.7%) - added during boil, boiled 15 min
74 g Centennial (9.7%) - added dry to secondary fermenter
I called it "Aroination IIPA" (because I live on Aro St). I hit 1.072 as my pre boil gravity, which I was very pleased with (there's video evidence). The one puzzling thing is that I got 1.062 as my post boil gravity. Due to a noobie mistake there was a whole lot of protein and hops in the wort that I tested though, would that lower the reading? (I adjusted all of the gravities for temp).
She's bubbling away in the lounge, smelling very nice and hoppy. I think I could get into to this brewing thing ;-)
