Centennial Cascade with Oats
Centennial Cascade with Oats
For the 3rd batch in our 2 Hops series I made Centennial Cascade with Oats. To learn what oats do to a homebrew I went with half a pound. This recipe is for 1.25 gallons into the carboy
2 LBs 4 oz 2-Row
8 oz Oats
.25 oz Centennial @60
.25 oz Cascade @10
.25 oz Centennial @5
.25 oz both for dry hop
Color: Hazy yellow
Smell: Sweet malt with a hint of citrus with some floral
Taste: Very thick, floral very sweet almost like a brown sugar with some citrus
Overall: The oats didnt do anything to the head of this homebrew. 8 oz of oats are overkill in this beer. I would drop it back to 4 oz next time. I think the oats are doing something to the flavor as we should get more grapefruit out of this batch almost like we did in the Centennial Cascade small batch
Tasting 3
Color: Yellow and clear
Smell: Floral with sweet citrus. Almost a sweet honey
Tasting: Floral citrus mix with some sweetness. Bitterness is in back
Overall: This homebrew has done well over the last 5 to 6 months. The oats have went away.
