Looks good. I actually don't know much about Willamettes for dry hopping. Cascades would work there and Ws for part of the flavor, if you wanted to swap. But what you have may work fine.

Good call...I was just going with what I had on hand...took advantage of the hop on pop sale at hopsdirect where they had buy one get one free on select hops...bought 4#, got 8#! woo-hoo!

it might be nice to add a bit different flavor with the Williamette instead of straight cascade before dry hopping...

Thanks!

I love Cascade for dry hopping. I'd bitter with the cascade and finish with the Williamette for flavor and aroma. Cascade for dry hopping. That's a very simple recipe but I guarantee it will turn out great. Simple is usually better... let the malt and hops shine.
