So Sunday is bottle and brew day. I will be bottling the Cascade brew, and brewing a nearly identical batch with Centennial hops. The estimated bitterness for this one is almost twenty points higher than the Cascade, which is ok, but I am not even up to the most bitter of the American hop varieties. The next experiment, Columbus, will be reeeeeeeeealy bitter.
The owner of the homebrew shop gave me a 3 pound bag of a lighter DME, which really wont make any difference at this hop level, and he suggested I use the full packet of yeast, since once you open the packet, the unused portion is very prone to infection. Ahh the things you learn...
I'll check in again Sunday with the recipe.
