Tasting Notes
Sometimes simple == great. This is the best APA I have ever made.
Mash Ingredients
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
10 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 93.0 %
12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 2 7.0


Mash Steps
Name Description Step Temperature Step Time
Mash In Add 13.44 qt of water at 167.7 F 152.0 F 60 min
Mash Out Add 7.53 qt of water at 202.8 F 168.0 F 10 min

Drain mash tun, Batch sparge with 2 steps (1.62gal, 1.62gal) of 168.0 F water


Boil Ingredients
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
1.00 oz Chinook [10.30 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 3 33.8 IBUs
0.50 oz Centennial [8.60 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 4 5.1 IBUs
0.50 oz Cascade [5.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 5 0.0 IBUs

Dry hopped with 1.00oz of cascade for 7 days.

I made this recipe as simple as possible in an attempt to create a house APA. I used mostly left over hops (notice the .50 oz solo additions). I was going to make this one, then add something new next time and so on until I got it right. Thing is it is really good like this so, I guess I lucked out.

Chinook Centenial Cascade Pale ale.

I will post of picture of the beer in the next few days. It has been kegged for about two weeks now and it is starting clear.
 
well ****. i'm brewing my own CCCP(A) tomorrow, and was just checking to see if anyone else came up with the name. guess i got beat. mine is pretty similar though:

10.5 lbs pale 2 row
1 lb caramel 40
.5 chinook @ 60
.5 centenial @ 30
.5 cascade @ 15
.5 cascade @ 5

started off wanting a pale ale that used chinook and centential. the name CCC Pale Ale came to mind so i forced in a third 'C' (the cascade). so big the differences are the schedule and that i'm pushing it on the IBU, plus i'll be using pacman that i harvested from a batch a couple months ago (which that came straight from shakespeare stout), hope i'm as satisfied as your were.
 
Yeah it came out great. If i made it again i would probably add some c15 along with c40. I like the taste of the lighter crystal malts in hoppy beers.
 
Just trying this today, except doing BIAB and scaling it down to a 4gal batch and using roughly 1.0 oz columbus, 0.5oz centennial and 0.5 oz US Hallertau (same schedule), and switched out the Notthingham for some US-05. Mashing right now...thanks for the recipe!

Update: OG was 1.062
 
Hi,

I can keep at around 66. I am not sure that I can keep the fermenter at 62. It effects a lot?

Thanks,

Erol
