Cascade Centennial with Crystal 40 Malt
This is the Sixth beer in our 2 hop series. This takes the base cascade and centennial and adds Crystal 40 malt. I know C40 will change the color of this homebrew a lot. Im not sure what it will bring in terms of smell or taste. Will we get more sweetness? Here is the recipe I used. This was for a 1.25 gallons going into the carboy.
2 LBS 4 oz 2-Row
4 oz C40 malt
.25 oz Cascade 60 mins
.25 oz Centennial 10 mins
.25 oz Cascade 5 mins
.25 oz of both 3 days into fermentation
US-05 Yeast
Color: Pumpkin Orange. Hazy
Smell: Floral citrus
Taste: Not a lot of taste upfront. Citrus floral with a hint of bitterness. You do get a little sweetness from this beer. I think the floral does overpower the citrus.
Overall: I think this C40 would go well with Vienna malt. I might make this using Centennial Cascade version of this and see if we get more citrus.
Tasting 2 was done with all 20 beers. Check that video out here 20 beer side by side
Tasting 3
Color: Amber with brown orange at the bottom
Smell: Caramel malt with a hint of citrus. Smells more like a dark amber brown.
Taste: Caramel citrus
Overall: If you are looking for an IPA I wouldnt let this one age. From the taste I think its more of a bad brown ale than anything. Like they used the malts for a brown but used the wrong hops.
