Centennial Pale Ale

With 4th of July coming up, I felt like I owed it to my country to brew a centennial pale ale, so I did.  Just like that.

Grains
3 lbs Pilsen DME
3 lbs Muntons Extra Light DME
1 lb c-40 steeped to 170

15 min boil
2.5 oz Centennial at 15
1 oz Centennial at 5
.5 oz Centennial at 0
1 oz Centennial dry hop two weeks

US-05 at 66 ambient, raise to 68 for 2 weeks, then dry hop for two weeks

Results
6 gallons pre boil at 1052
5.6 gallons post at 1056

Water Adjustments
2 tsp gypsum



"Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes."

    Solid beer, but a bit boring. I would make the mosaic or cascade version again before going with centennial.

    This beer got better the longer it was on tap. The lemon came out more later. I probably wouldn't make it again, but it was very good later on. Cascade was the best 15 min version.
