I didn't do anything to it but make it like the recipe says... it has tasted fantastic right out of the fermenter (3 weeks) until today, 3 more weeks of cold crashing and carbing..

This will always be on tap at my house :-)

Next time I may change things, I may make a double batch instead! ;p

It's very clear but being 95 outside put a haze on the glass ;p

I agree - this did come out very tasty & drinkable. Mine came out at about 5% ABV & it is incredibly drinkable for that strength! Very nice beer. However, this did lead me to a hop flavor I'm not a huge fan of - Centennial. I've been chasing a hop flavor in commercial beers that I didn't really prefer (a bit vegetative or something?) & as soon as I tried the first pint, there it was! As this beer is fairly low on hop flavors, its worked fine & is delicious. Now that I've been drinking it for the past week, I think I enjoy it in this style where it is fairly light handed. It works. I did consider just switching to all Cascade, but night after night it has grown on me. I am definitely keeping the base recipe in my play book! This would be a very fun recipe to play with & change variables, like the hop bill, to see the changes it has on the finished product. As the canvas is fairly clean on this in terms of malt bill, its a great candidate for experimentation.....

I bought the grain for this but was hoping to utilize the hops I already have. I am open to suggestions, here's what I have:

Centennial
Fuggles
Williamette
Magnum

What should I use instead of Cascade?

Just go centennial all the way though, unless you don't like it's aroma. None of the others look like good matches to me.

I'd use the centennial. You could also try Willamette, but it's a English hop derivative, so probably not as close as centennial. Either way, it's an experiment!

Centennial it is! Thanks

I brew 10g batches and i've brewed some beers with a lot of grain in a 10g round cooler, what you think is the max you can take with this recipe? 15 / 20? I did this recipe with 10g version, but wondering if I can up it somewhat

thoughts?
