Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

[jschein]

Has anyone brewed any more Celebration Clones? I'm going to brew another batch and I'm thinking of making Centennial hops more prominent. What about using only Centennial in the boil and Cascade and Centennial for dry hop?

This is how I like it

Have you brewed one? mind posting your recipe?

It says Fresh Hops in big letters on the label. I’d guess that might be important for an exact clone and would explain seasonal variations.

This has been a cult classic and one of our favorites for a long long time. I've brewed it several times and I use it as my Thanksgiving turkey day ipa every year. I change it up based on what I have on hand but it's basically 2 row, crystal 60 and a dash of carapils if you have it. The hops are Chinook, cascade and centennial with us05 or wlp001. I mash around 154 but sometimes go for 152 if I want it dry. Look at the specs of the commercial version then play around with a recipe calculator to dial in the numbers. As long as you ferment clean it'll be a great a beer and pretty close to the original.

Just tried this year's batch. Decent but I really don't like the taste of C hops, so am not a good judge...
