| First-year cascade in the background. |
Knowing it wasn't going to last forever, I was informed that this was our next beer. Being more of a 3% English pale ale brewer, and at a loss for how to create such a thing as this, I turned to that great recipe repository, the Northern Brewer catalog. On a side note, I seriously love that thing. So many homebrewing resources and companys are poorly done, but the NB catalog is gorgeous. I relied on NB when I lived in the hinterlands for ingredients, and I still send them my custom when I can't get something at my awesome local shop (oak-smoked wheat malt, anyone?).
This recipe is for a 10-gallon batch. I bottled half the batch after following the instructions to the letter, and kegged the other half with an ounce of Citra hops. I rarely bottle, so these might get entered in the Dominion Cup, which would be my very first competition entry ever.

Notes:
------
6/28/2012 Dry Hopped in one primary with one oz of Cascade pellets, to be bottled as part of brewing presentation on 6/30/12. Dry hopped the other with 0.6 oz of whole cascade (11% aa!), and plan to keg hop with Citra.
kegged half with 1 oz of Citra, bottled the other half in presentation. Had serious siphoning issues with the whole-hopped version—lost some serious volume and aerated everything due to a bad seal in the siphon starter...put it on tap immediately to slow down any resulting oxidation.
