I did a cream of three crops brew using 1/2oz of williamettes at 60mins and a 1/2 oz Crystal ay 60mins.My question is can i dry hop with Cascades? I just tried a friends light beer that he dry hopped with cascades and it was really good. But can i mix all these and still have a drinkable beer?
 
yes, no prob. the 60 minute hops aren't giving you any flavor or aroma - with that much boiling, all they leave behind is bitterness. that why they're called the bittering hops. add hops with 15-10 mins left for flavor, and less than 5 mins left for aroma. alternately, dry hop for aroma (and a little flavor, but mostly aroma). and mixing hops within a batch is very common. very.

hop on!
 
Yea, no worries at all. My last brew had magnum, simcoe, cascade, and amarillo.
