A Pound of Centennial

Post by John Sand »

I went to LHBS today to buy 2oz of Centennial for my next batch, Green Flash West Coast IPA clone. He only had 1 pound packs, at 25% off. Of course, I bought one. I got eight times the hops for 2.5x the price. And I just recently got 8oz of Cascade off ebay. I'm a little nervous, but I guess big bags of hops go with bigger batches.
Can we say more IPAs?

I buy most of my hops by the pound and save lots.
As for the GFWC IPA, I tried this last earlier this year and wasn't close. It was very good, I loved it and it had the aroma but not the taste.
Let me know how this turns out.

Centennial you say? You should make a Bell's Two Hearted Ale clone! It's an all-Centennial IPA and is mighty tasty!

I'm using the Szamatulski Clone Brews recipe: 13.8 lbs two row, 14 oz crystal 20, Simcoe, Centennial, Cascade and Columbus. Dry hop with Cascade, Columbus and Centennial. I looked at the Can You Brew It recipe, it's similar. What did you do?

Agreed - I just tried Bells for the first time this past weekend, got it at a beer place recommended by FedoraDave. Loved it too, definately going to be brewing a clone in the nearish future.

The Two Hearted Ale is one of my favorite IPAs.

And I have made 5 or 6 all Centennial IPAs based on different recipes including a Two Hearted Clone and they were all delicious.
