Ageing will almost always provide an even better result. While fermentation can be done in one week, its usually a good idea to let it clear up, settle and consume secondary products of fermentation.

I wouldn't pop a bottle until at least 2 weeks. Of course I've opened at one week in the past (hasn't everyone?), but that's just one beer less when it peaks. IME anyway.

Thanks for the input. I don't want to mess up my first ag by rushing to bottles.
Especially since I know once it is bottled I won't be patient

I was in a bind so I poured half of two cornys together. They were this with notty and half of the 15 min boil recipie. All I can say is WOW. Combined one corney to the other then went to a gathering. I like both brew separate but dam.

I want to make this because I'm looking for a refreshing light ale but I'm just not excited by the hops. I do not like the citrus taste of Cascade and cascade-like hops at all.

I do want to be mindful to replace it with a hops that with provide some additional flavor. I don't want it to just come out like a BMC. I was thinking of using some german hops like Hersbrucker or maybe Mt.Hood or Liberty. I would use Beersmith to get the amounts needed for the IBU's listed in the recipe. It wouldn't be the Cent Blonde anymore, but I would hate to make 5 gallons and not like the taste.

Belma hops are nice and mellow.

1056 is my favorite yeast I've tried out of it, Notty, and WLP001.

No need to secondary this beer. Let it sit in the primary for two or three weeks. It will clear just fine. I've had this after a month in primary and grain to glass in less than 8 days. Both were delicious, but the longer primary definitely resulted in a clearer beer. The only way I would do 8 days again is give it one more day than I did the first time in primary, cold crash, and force carb at higher pressures than I did the first time to get it clearer and fewer pulls of yeasty beer from the bottom of the keg.

This beer is stupid cheap to make, especially if you're doing all grain. If you don't like it, everyone else will. This beer is delicious. Nothing crazy. The hops are just enough to let you know you're not drinking an MGD or comparable. I like having this beer around all the time.

Just to clear things up, allow time for secondary products of fermentation to be consumed is what was written. Not secondary this beer.

Like a lighter, less hoppy Sierra Nevada ... Or a Sam Adams pale ale (not Boston pale ale)... Except with much more flavorful American hops instead of fuggles and EKG ...

I re brewed this weekend, but after a few high gravity Belgians we screwed up the grain bill, so I threw the hop schedule in the wind and made something different. It's certainly no longer the blonde I wanted!!

I'm ploughing through my crate of this, it's damn good to have around in the summer. I might make it again soon with 1056
