^^^ This I dry hopped an IPA with 1oz willamette and 1oz cascade about a week ago. They're pretty much my go to hops for an IPA. Smelling pretty damn amazing at the moment, still yet to taste though. Time to cold crash and bottle! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah looks pretty light on the hops for an IPA. 4-6 oz of hops for a regular OG IPA is about standard for me.
