Figured I would just help you pad your post count with unhelpful information. Bunch of EACs from the few people on here that actually know what's up. Kind of the reason I quit coming to this site. Thanks for the "help" guys. You wanna ***** about people not using search and then when they do...

I'm looking to do something like(7 gal): 9lb Pils 9lb Vienna 1lb Victory 1lb Munich 90 min Magnum 10 min cascade 5 min columbus 0 min amarillo 1 oz of each for dry hop US-05 mash at 150 I'm not finding anyone who has done anything like this. the reason for the Pils is that I...

so what is the verdict on this vienna/centennial smash?
