Is there a proper balance (ratio) of dry hops to original gravity of the beer? In other words, it seems to me an APA should be dry hopped less than an IPA.

I think that is true but don't brew enough of either style to say so definitively.

I know the proper balance of dry hops to gravity would be subjective. But are there common ranges?

PS. I am about to brew an APA with OG of 1050 and planning 0.33oz dry hop (Galaxy) per gallon. Does this seem too high, too low?

Definitely takes trial and error to find what you like, but I dry hop APAs @ 2.5-3 oz/ 5 gallons, with IPAs more like 5-6 oz/5 gallons. Just personal preference.

I brewed two identical beers with only swapping out Galaxy for Azacca only because my LBS didn't have any Galaxy at that time.  HUGE difference in hop aroma, I couldn't believe that the total hop quantities were the same. Galaxy is one hop I will continue to use

Galaxy is incredible.

Great job!
Do you have plans to exBeeriment with length of time dry hopping?

I rarely (this may be my first post, I'm more of a lurker) post but this was really interesting.  Just in time too as I plan on brewing a nice big IIPA for the fall/winter.  I have never dry hopped with more than 2.5oz per 5 gallons.  this, of all the things I have read on hops, kinda opened my eyes to the fact that I need to man up and get some damn hops in these beers I brew.  Thanks!

If you really want to man up, brew one of these 



(that is 1 gallon of wort at "whirlpool")

I'm surprised that only 15/29 people could pick out the different beer.  I was expecting something like 20/29 or higher.
