So, I need to brew another IPA (keg kicked last night :() and I'm broke.
Here is what I have in the freezer...

Nugget 15 oz
EKG 13 oz
Cascade 6.5 oz
Willamette 8 oz
Columbus 14 oz

The last one was all Cascade, which while really good, I don't want to do this time. (variety is nice :))

What does everyone suggest?
 
I haven't done a cascade/willamette IPA, but I have done one as an APA and it's awesome. I'd do this:


1 oz Nugget 60 minutes (or 40-45 IBUs with this addition)
1 oz Cascade 15 minutes
1 oz willamette 10 minutes
1 oz cascade 5 minutes
1 oz willamette 0 minutes
Dryhop with 1 oz each willamette and cascade
 
Nugget and Cascade are an awesome, completely underrated combo. In a 1.060 IPA, bitter with Nugget to 30IBUs, equal amounts at 15min (i'd do something like .75oz of each) then, an oz each dry hop.

Think floral, citrus and peach. Not bad for an early summer IPA.
 
For 6 gallon boil, 5 gallon 1.068-1.070 OG / 1.012-1.014 FG batch:

1.00 oz. Columbus @ 60 min
2.00 oz. Nugget @ 5 min
2.00 oz. Willamette or Cascade @ Flameout
2.00 oz. Nugget or Cascade @ 10 day dryhop
1.00 oz. Columbus @ 10 day dryhop

That will give you around 70 IBUs and 7% abv with American Ale yeast.
