Update: I kegged this IPA a week ago and tapped it two days ago when it was carbed appropriately.  I ended up not dry hopping it because I wanted to see how much aroma and flavor I would get from the whirlpool alone.  Got to say, I am extremely happy with the results. Even without the dry hopping, it has the best aroma of any IPA I have made in the hop flavor is also stronger and more pleasant. I don't think I will be making any more IPAs without the whirlpool technique.  Thanks all for the advice.

I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

Great to hear! I could never get as much hop flavor in my beers as I wanted until I started doing hop stands. One I tried it, I was sold.

Same here.  I also think the aroma from the stand is longer lasting than the late boil additions since the oils aren't boiled off.

I've been doing hopstands lately too and love it. Nice mellow flavor.
