Inquiring minds want to know Brian, how did this turn out? We are awfully close to the release of the '10 Celebration Ale.
Alright, so I decided to do the recipe the brewer gave on the sunday session. Might as well since I have it now, right? Anyway, here's what it looks like for a 6 gallon batch at 80% efficiency. I've scaled the hop additions down from the 100 bbl batch he said they use but it wasn't giving me nearly enough bitterness, so I almost doubled the chinook addition in order to get the IBUs where he said they were. Everything else is scaled exactly to what he said they do at the brewery.
SNCA Clone (SN verified)
OG 1.068 -> FG 1.015
IBU 68
12.5 lbs 2-row pale malt (he mentioned they use canadian 2-row)
1.55 lbs british crystal 55 (he said c60, but also said british, which is usally 55L)
1.52 oz chinook @ 60 (directly scaled from his recipe it would be 0.77 oz, but that only gave me like 44 IBU for the beer)
1.24 oz cascade @ 10
0.62 oz centennial @ 10
1.24 oz cascade @ FO
0.62 oz centennial @ FO
1 oz cascade DH
0.5 oz centennial DH
He suggested mashing at 156 F!
Pitch chico yeast @ 62 F and let it rise and plateau at 68 F.
It's coming in over 10 SRM using that grain bill, so I'm pretty sure it's going to be too dark, but hopefully since it's the grain bill they use, the taste will be identical. Should be good!
Any updates on this stuff, I'm curious about this recipe.
Humman, Did you post it?

ok, I'll be that guy...
any chance of anyone having an extract version of this recipie?
thanks in advance
Looking for an AG SN Celebration clone recipe if anyone has something that they believe to be damn close. I am in love with this beer and want to make copious amounts of this year round. I did a search on google and the recipe data base and really didn't find anything that seemed to be a solid recipe.
Just picked up this years celebration ale at the store... I had forgotten how amazing this beer is for a winter ale. Was listening to a Jamil Show archive and they were talking about a SNCA clone and it got me super stoked to make one myself
Mmmm...22oz of hops Sounds great!!
Check this out.
We did a side by side comparison and my friend said he could tell a slight difference, but preferred mine. Of course he was a friend so that could have swayed his judgement.
This is the recipe that you can't tell the difference. I've tried several, but this is it.
Hey DHB,
Can I simply halve these ingredients for a 5 gallon batch? I know that the grain should be alright, but how about the hops?
While looking through some other recipes that claim to be Dean Larson's SNCA, I noticed that despite the batch size, the 1 tsp gypsum remained the same. Should I use 1 tsp no matter the batch size?
Also, you're using whole hops with this recipe, correct?
Thanks for any help guys!
Peace.
Anyone? I'm ready to pull the trigger if it looks OK.
I did notice the IBU's are low.
