Sorry, I didn't see this until just now. So far, It is one of the best beers I have brewed to date. It is a very clean great tasting pale ale. Kind of reminds me of Sierra Nevada sans cascades and slightly more biscuty.
 
Have you tried any variations on this? I've brewed an MO/Centennial SmaSH with about 3 lbs of the MO toasted to add some deeper complexity.
 
Not yet. I split this batch in half. One half with good ole Wyeast 1056. I did the other half with Wyeast Scottish Ale Yeast on a whim. It turned out pretty bad.

I was thinking about toasting, but never got around to it. I'll probably keep it like this for a while. Its something I enjoy as well as my more BMC inclined friends.
 
It was good. I also dryhopped with two ounces of amarillo for a week cold. If I did this same recipe again I would cut back the IBU a little. A good beer but I think that centennial melds better with maris otter.
 
hey

this gonna be my first beer and I am also new to the beersmith recipe layout...

the batch sparge water is x = 5 gal - 15 qt ?

many thanks,
g.
