How Hoppy can a Beer get?
In short, I have about 4lbs of dried and vacuum sealed hops that I harvested from nearby my house, stored in a refrigerator. I have used some in the past few months, but I am about to loose the storage space, so I need to use them asap.
I was pondering what is the maximum amount of hops by volume could use in a single brew, assuming that I am not overly concerned with the alpha acids or flavoring? My brewing equipment allows mean to work with about 5 gallons (20 liters) of wort at most.
Would appreciate any input!

I had omnipollos "the beginning" a while back, dry hopped with 40 grams per liter, some of it cryo. Yeah, it tasted like hops. Like straight up hops but it was in no way too much.
