probably a bad gravity reading. Or you missed your volume. Or one of your friends ate half the bag of DME.
1.034? Will there be any alcohol in that?
One thing I wonder about is the short conditioning period with multiple hops... with a single hop I would not be concerned, but I am wondering if additional conditioning time may be required in order for the hops to properly "blend" together.... I have no idea, and I am not even sure if that makes sense - but it is something to consider?
It probably will make a nice beer, but it will have a different hop character than mine which goes against one of the reasons for my recipe, ie: appeal to a broad audience.
Give it a whirl as I'm sure it will turn out well.
I'm in the same boat, I have an ounce of cascade and an oounce of centennial.
So you're saying to change from this:
Boil & Hops
1.0 oz Cascade 6.6% at 60 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5 min.
To this:
Boil & Hops
0.5 oz Centennial 6.6% at 60 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5 min.
I am so bummed today. I decided I was going to do my first AG last night. I was so excited when UPS finally delivered my ingredients from AHS, it took 10 days because I ordered the monday morning after the sale. I dug out all of my equipment and set it up in my garage. I tore into the box like it was christmas, it's really cool seeing all those bags of grain for the first time. I started two piles, one for the pale ale and one for the bavarian wheat. I get all done and somethings missing! I dug thru the peanuts and I couldn't find the safale US-05 yeast! I looked at the order sheet and the yeast is highlighted and says, "temporarily out of stock, will ship seperate". I felt like somebody kicked me in the sack. It ruined my whole night. I planned to brew this last Friday and took a day off of work but the shipment didn't make it. Now I have to search locally for some yeast (locally means at least a 1 hour drive) and the only time I have to do this is Sunday morning. This sucks.....
For a 5.5 gallon batch, I dough in with 3.5 gallons of water. At the end of the mash, I add 1.5 gallons of 180 degree water, stir, then vorlauf & drain to kettle. I then add another 3.5 gallons of 170 degree water, stir, wait ten minutes, stir, then vorlauf & drain again. You will end up with about 7 gallons in your kettle and after about an hour, you should finish with about 5.5 gallons of wort.
It's the EdWortian School of Brewing. Whatever Im brewing, it always helps to check out EdWorts recipe for the style. He has a way of stripping away all the frills and coming up with basic recipes that work great on there own or are easy to modify to match your supplies on hand or individual tastes.. . . So, it was a Haus Pale Ale-inspired beer....
www.austinhomebrew.com can hook you up very quickly.
You will need to order the following.
8 lbs. 2-Row Pale Malt
2 lbs. Vienna
0.5 lb. Crystal 10L
2 oz. Cascade Hop Pellets
1 packet of Nottingham Dry yeast
Let me know if you cannot get Nottingham. It seems to be out of stock at many HBS.
You nailed it. I'm struggling to find the Nottingham and the Vienna.

I ended up using Safale 05. I'm going to crack open my first bottle tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turned out.
Edit: I didn't see that you edited your post to say that you found Nottingham.

Do you guys think 5 days in the primary is OK? I'm fermenting in the mid 60's thanks to cool evenings. Gravity is at 1.018, so i will secondary for at least a week before bottling. I have the opportunity to brew today and not again until probably the weekend. Next batch is Orfy's 'Goblin clone. If not, i can always buy a second primary bucket
