Title: Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale Clone
Post by: andrewL46 on March 17, 2013, 12:02:56 PM
Well since the Celebration ale is drying up in the offies, I thought i'd try make a clone of one of my favourite beers.
Simple grist of just 88% Maris Otter and 12% Crystal 145
For hops Chinook for bittering at 68 IBU's
At ten mins Centennial & Cascade and the same at 0 mins and will dry hop when fermentation is almost done.
OG 1065

Hops all weighed out

Decent sized starter of WLP001 just off stir plate and chilled

How did this turn our? Looking to do something similar soon enough. Crystal looks pretty high.
