I eliminated Centennial from the hops additions recipe on the latest version. I will update the recipe if I find that it improves it.
The Amarillo and Simcoe work so well together, I figured why spoil a good thing by adding in another (and possibly unnecessary) variable.
After I dry hop it, I'll decide whether or not it is worth it. My calibrated taste-buds will tell me! |

thanks for the update Dude. I pitched 6 days ago and i am at 1.014. First time using Safale 05; fast attenuation. Sample tastes great. Dry hopping this weekend.

Hey Dude,
Let us know how the adjusted recipe goes. I was thinking of doing just Amarillo and SImcoe. Did u up the hops on both to replace or just remove the centennial? Im looking for a nice tasty APA that would apeal to both me who loves hops and hops aroma and flavorr as well as my family who do not go for big hop beers at all..I was looking at keeping the IBUs down a bit and makin this, I obly have amarillo and simcoe..(which both are fantastic by the way)

That's my objective too. This one is for my wife who likes APA's. I think she is going to love this one. My samples are extremely cloudy. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I assume it's from the flaked wheat.

Conditioning and clearing
I have been dry-hopping for 10 days. How long before you generally keg this for consumption? I noticed 10/10 in the recipe. Also, as I mentioned earlier, this beer is extremely cloudy. I think I might have put in a bit too much wheat. Is this beer normally cloudy? Thanks

Mine is just slightly chill hazed, but not particularly cloudy. It's a decent looking beer.
I started drinking mine fairly early - perhaps 4 weeks after brewing, and it was very good. The flavors were nice and blended, improving the overall drinkability a bit, at the 6 week point, and it's been pretty consistent since.

Ok thanks for that. Sample still a little green, but developing quickly.

I just kegged this morning. My wife and I tried a glass each, and thought it was nearly great at 27 days. Can't wait for it to chill out and stabilize. Really delicious. Simcoe/Amarillo great marriage! BTW, IBU not nearly what was computed in BS and PM. Well balanced as written in recipe. SWMBO thanks the Dude for this one.

Glad to hear it.
I think the recipe programs are a bit high, but I'd consider Amarillo and Simcoe both really "soft" bitterness hops. They show high alpha acids but don't have a harshness at all. They "talk big" in recipes as far as IBUs, but don't walk the walk.
I have a batch not too far behind yours that I racked over last night to some kegs. I'll have an update this week.
