Hello all... just wanted to get your opinions about a kit I just bought a brewed on a whim two days ago. Didn't want to wait around for my ingredients to come in for the Centennial Blonde, so I went up and bought a "Brewers Best" kit for Cali Common Beer. Ingredients looked fresh and all was good.
While listening to Jamil's show on Cali Common beers, I noticed that I was using an incorrect hop for the style I was brewing. He said that really you should only be using Northern Brewer hops for this type of beer. Unfortunately, LD Carlson decided to put some Cascade hops in the kit. Don't get me wrong, Cascade hops are probably my favorite all time hops, but the recipe doesn't fit the use of these hops. Anyone else notice that some extract kits don't really conform to "standard" recipes?
