Centennial Blonde

2012 Batch #04 - Blonde (brewed 03/25/2012) 




Third batch with the new Blichman Burner, this time Ryan used it for a 10 gallon Aletimate Warrior batch... and it pretty much kicked ass. There was no wind or breeze or anything, and all went well.  Oh, and we started @ 6:30 am.  No, really.


I used Ryan's gear for a blonde recipe I found on HomebrewTalk.com - all that nice weather last week had me in the mood for a nice easy drinker.  I nailed my OG and volume, but I missed my 20 minute hop addition... not a big deal though, I added it at 15.  Here is the recipe:


7.5 lbsAmerican 2-row info
.75 lbsCara-Pils® Malt; Briess info
.5 lbsAmerican Vienna info
.5 lbsCrystal Malt 10°L info
.25 ozCentennial (Pellets, 8.7 %AA) boiled 60 min. info

.25 ozCascade (Pellets, 6.8 %AA) boiled 20 min. info (added @ 15)
.25 ozCascade (Pellets, 6.8 %AA) boiled 5 min. info

Mash at 150 degrees for 60 minutes (I was above 150 most of the time)


P.S. Mel is a trooper.... she painted the entire nursery by herself while we brewed
