Just looking to find a hop(s) that would go well for dry hopping in this recipe. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
 
Cascade/Amarillo are always nice as a dry hop in nearly any situation. I think they would work well here since you'll already have some of the cascade aroma in the late addition.
 
+1 on the cascades idea, makes a nice DH, and it won't make any change in the IBU's. At this point, you're not boiling the hops, so the only thing you're going to get is their aroma.

also, what's the story on the 'Heebs' part? I ask because people call me that all the time.
 
Well by the looks of your screen name I assume you may be a Hebert?

My last name is the same, thus the "Heeb" reference. Been a nickname of mine since birth, or pretty damn close.

So would you recommend three ounces of Cascade also?
