The two main questions i have are:
1) Will the Willamette & Cascade mix blend well?
2) What type of yeast, both liquid and dry, should i go with.

Thanks in advance for any input and let me know if there are any changes i should make!
 
Willamette and Cascade work great together. I would pitch US-56 (s-05) or any "california ale" yeast.
 
I'd bump up to 1oz Cascade in the dry hop. Cascade and Willamette work well together.

+1 the US-05 / WY1056 / WLP001
 
Nottingham would work good here too (well, it works for almost all pale ales!)

I love using Williamette and Cascade together!
 
I've just edited the recipe based on what info i received here and across the internet. Take a look at the changed recipe and let me know if there is anything else that i should consider changing.

Thanks again everyone!
