Does dry hopping with different hops have the same outcome as when bittering.

I'll explain:
With bittering the higher the Alpha acid content the more bitter the beer when using the same quantities of hops.

With dry hopping is there a way to tell how much of each hops to use based on any of the qualities of the hops?

Would you get the same amount of flavour/Aroma from 20g of Galaxy as using 20g of Riwaka?

Hope this makes sense to someone.

Cheers

Yes and no. It's a complex thing. Though if you were to compare the intensity of flavour/aroma of equal amounts of Galaxy v Riwaka, Galaxy would totally dominate but mixing the two may provide unexpected results. This bloke explains things better than I could hope to.
