- Tasting Notes
- Superb hop aroma and flavor, moderately bitter, nice bready malt
What I love about this recipe is that you can substitute whatever pair of C-hops you want and it always comes out amazing, but with slightly different hop character. I've made it with Cascade & Centennial, Columbus & Centennial, and the latest with Citra & Centennial. The Citra has a great tropical aroma with just a hint of spicy/cattiness.

Grain Bill:
----------------------------
10 lbs American 2-row
1 lb Munich
1 lb Vienna
0.5 Caramel 20
0.5 Caramel 40
0.5 Victory
Mash 60 min.@ 153F
Hop Schedule:
----------------------------
1 oz. The higher alpha C hop - 60 min.
1/2 tsp. Wyeast Yeast Nutrient - 10 min.
0.5 oz. C hop1 - 10 min.
0.5 oz. C hop2 - 10 min.
1 Whirlfloc Tablet - 5 min.
0.5 oz. C hop1 - 5 min.
0.5 oz. C hop2 - 5 min.
1 oz. C hop1 - 0 min.
1 oz. C hop2 - 0 min.
Shooting for around 1.060 SG and a 1.013 FG for ~6.0% ABV
~9.5 SRM
40-50 IBU's (hops depending)
Ferment @ 67F with a clean American Ale yeast. I really like US-05 for my hoppy beers, ferments out nice and dry and makes the hops pop.
Dry hop with 1 oz. of the C hop whose aroma you like better or split them 1/2 oz. apiece.
