Just put my order in for this brew with Northern Brewer! Cant wait to get this in the kegerator!
A little maltier is all. Not a bad thing though this time of year.Well I made a last minute brew change and decided to try the the CB. I'd usually research it better but since it was so rushed I didn't do all my homework (reading this thread). Anyway, I split a 10gal batch with notty and Safale, only I accidentally pitched 04 instead of 05. Any idea how the SF 04 will turn out for this style? Sweeter / fruitier I'd imagine. Thankfully I have 5 gal of the original recipe for a control I guess.
Holy crap that's a fluffy head.
Hey BM. Long time lurker first time poster. I have made this beer in the past using the 1,2,3 time frame (one week primary, 2 weeks secondary 3 weeks bottles). Brought my latest batch to a new years party and it was a big hit! Unfortunately the drank all my beer and now I need a batch for the super bowl. I can't brew to next Saturday January 8th. That leaves me 4 weeks to get this beer ready. What is the best plan to get this beer ready to drink in 4 weeks, bottle conditioned? Thanks in advance for your advise and also for an excellent recipe.
Aerate the crap out of the beer and use plenty of yeast. Give it 10 days in the primary and then right to the bottling bucket and bottle. This is a low gravity beer and can be drinkable pretty quickly.

BIAB and sat in a bottle for 3 weeks. Great flavor!
Would brew again with a bit more carapils
The color on my photo is much darker that the actual brew is. Quite deceiving.
timbudtwo, could you share your BIAB procedure for this brew? I have the ingredients ready to go. I have paint bags from Lowes and a 5 gallon pot. This would be my first BIAB / All Grain of any kind.
Thanks,
Txinga
Thank you Beermuncher for this recipe! I had been trying to decide what to brew my little brother for his birthday party and this seems like a winner. For some reason, all of my other beers seem to scare his friends
In the process of making this now and noticed that I had Windsor yeast instead of nottingham. Would Safale SO 5 be ok?
The way you phrase this makes it sound like your little brother and his friends are teenagers.
I brewed a batch thsi last weekend at it seems a lot darker than the photo's I have seen of the finished beer. I am hoping that it just lightens up some during fermentation though...

Are you looking at the beer through your carboy or fermenter? Your beer will look a lot darker and even a different hue when viewing through your carboy. Look at your beer when you take a hydrometer reading, this is the true color of the beer.
So I brewed this as my first partial mash tonight.
Some aging does not hurt this beer. There is not an abundance of hop aroma to worry about, and the Centennial hops will mellow with some time. Aging this beer is just going to have a lagering (cleaning) effect.Any thoughts on aging this brew. I saw this as a quick turnaround beer but i've been working on 5 of the 10 gals and starting to think about the other 5 just chill'in (ha) in the secondary for the last month or so. It looks super clear and very tasty but im thinking it may be in there for a bit longer. Will this get better with age or better to drink em young?
