I must have spaced when I ordered, but I got Amarillo in pellet form. It's what I was planning for a dry hop, but I guess I mixxed up when I ordered it.
I do have about 2 ounces of my own home grown Cascades. Should I dry hop with the pellet, using the Amarillo called for in recipe, or go with the whole hops?
I don't think a little extra bitterness should make much of a change, since this is a RyePA and it's on the low-to-mid area of the range.

Dry-hopping won't add bitterness anyway. It will add flavor and aroma. I second cubbies' recommendation - dry-hop with the pellets. They work fine, and absorb less of your beer.
Odd, but I just never had dry hopped with pellets.
One of my text books (Brewing 2nd Ed, by Lewis and Young) says that pellets as dry-hopping will add some bitterness.
I'll give it a shot, though.
It's odd when you do (or don't do) something a certain way and just don't know why.
doh! To dry hop with pellets?
