Centennial Blonde W/O Cascade

[firebird400]

It has been planed for a while now to brew the Centennial Blonde Recipe that you all know.
This one https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/

If you had to use some other hops instead of Cascade, what would you use.

I want to replace the Cascade with something else.

I have these to choose from:
Columbus 14.5%
Centennial 10.8%
Saaz 4%
Fuggles 4.7%
Amarillo 6.9%
E.K.Goldings 6%
Brewers Gold 5.9%

I made mine with 100% Centennial. I haven't tasted it yet but will soon have it carbonated up. I've made a Bell's Two Hearted clone that was all Centennial and it was one of my favorite brews ever.

Funny I am working on an all centennial recipe to brew this weekend.

Centennial & Amarillo gets my vote.

 

[dcp27]

since you already got all centennial in the works, id go amarillo or columbus

 

[firebird400]

I have an all Amarillo Rye ale being carbed, first taste tells me its going to fantastic, so Amarillo is promising.

 

[beerandloathinginaustin]

The answer is always Amarillo. I don't do well on standardized testing with it but my beer tastes great.

My vote is for centennial and Columbus, or all centennial. I love Mad Hatter and Two Harted, and those are their hop profiles respectively.

So you are saying I should use Columbus for flavor and aroma and bitter with Centennial.

I have only used Columbus as bittering hops

 

[dcp27]

you could do either, but id go with columbus late tho. 1) they're great late, 2) you've never done it, 3) you already got a brew with just centennial late.

Yes. Columbus as late. Nice and fruity, but still very resiny so it isn't "one note" like some others can be.

I am starting to use this recipe to figure out some hop profiles I like w/o having to use too many hops, that way I can make an ipa later that I already know the profile of before I brew. The centennial/Columbus will be my next go at it (I have an all simcoe in the primary right now), so let me know how it goes!

 

[buckeye2011]

I made mine with all centennial (added 1oz dryhop) and it's fantastic. I didn't think I was a big fan of blonde ales but this might be the best beer I've made this year. I can't see ever not having this on tap at home. It's too popular. Too easy to drink. Too delicious.

 

[firebird400]

Will I ruin it if I go for a higher final gravity?
