Decided to play with Centennial today to see what I can do with it. Hoping to make a brewery recipe entry for the competetion so a bit of experience with it couldn't hurt. Follwed a modified SNPA clone recipe scrounged off the interwebs.
The recipe:
4.55kg Pale
300g Caramalt
300g Wheat malt
70 minute boil-
25g Centennial (70)
20g Cascade (15)
Protafloc (15)
65 degree mash for 60 minutes
Collected 20L into boiler
Collected 14L post boil (lost 6 litres to hop boil!)
Liquored back to 1.054 and pitched Safale US-05. Wound up with 23L.
Never used US-05 before, but I expect the FG to be around 1.013 considering the lower mash temp. Aiming for no higher than 5.2% ABV.
This is my first time trying wheat malt and I'm not even sure what Caramalt is but I got it because I wanted a lighter colour beer, but didn't want to invest in 7 different crystal malts.
All in all, the day went REALLY well and I learned a lot. Hope to do my all Centennial brew this weekend.
