Its funny, everytime I order a pale ale when I'm out I compare it to this beer. I almost always end up thinking to myself "Mines better at home..." Its gonna be tough to wait for a month till I can have a pint of this.

Well, as luck would have it, Amarillo is out at my LHBS. Can I use Centennial instead (using slightly less amounts to match AAU)?

I think Amarillo is fairly unique, according to my taste buds. But... any of the Northwest's "C" hops should be fine.

Same here. I subbed em for Anthum. I also used a extra packet of S-05 I had as opposed to my usual WLP001. I would have to say it is still a great beer, but damn I miss my Amarillo's and should have used my usual WLP001

Looks like I'm brewing this tonight, with two substitutions...

Yeast - Wyeast 1056 American Ale (Washed Yeast, 1st Generation)

Hops - Subbed Centennial for Amarillo, as I can't get Amarillo around here right now.

Looking forward to my first partial mash!

Well, brew day went well, I ended up hitting 72% efficiency for my first partial mash.

OG was 1.056 (From Expected 1.057 in Beer Smith2)

Thanks for the great recipe, can't wait for it to be ready.

Thank you very much Cheshire Cat! This beer is outstanding. I made it exactly to your recipe. I now know why it won first place. Fantastic beer, fantastic aroma, my friends and I loved it. This is on my regular rotation now. I am going to brew it all grain this time but change nothing else. Thanks again cat!
