Nice vid. I first brewed this beer in 2007 very shortly after BierMuncher posted the recipie on the HBT forum. It was the number one brew on that sites top 100 list at one time. I can't say for sure how many times I have brewed this over the years - it is a very popular beer at get togethers! I have tinkered with it a few times ( A raspberry version was an excellent offshoot) but in the end the original alway ends up the fav. Thanks for this vid, I hate to see good and simple brews like this fading away in the haze - nice to see them brought back to the forefront once in a while.
4 gallons at 1.044 is 176 gravity points. 176 divided by 5 is 35.2, meaning if you didn't sparge (and just added a gallon of plain water), you would have been at 1.0352. Since you landed at 1.040, your sparge did pull some additional sugar out.
@@TheHomebrewChallenge Does sparging here actually make any difference though? rather than say just adding more water to dilute from 1.044 -> 1.040 OR doing a full volume?
@@BFloz In this case, diluting to 1.040 would have netted 4.4 gallons rather than 5 gallons. So you either lose some volume or end up with more diluation (lower OG/lower ABV, some differences on IBU and SRM, etc).
@@ferrisr I meant more like - if the gravity/volumes are the same - is there a benefit to sparring over dilution - e.g. greater flavour extraction - or is it just a sugar and volume thing?
What a great beer for all levels of experience! I made this for family/friends years ago when I was just learning how to all-grain. Everyone loved it .. since then it has become a regular staple in my kegerator. Cheers!
Cheers mate I brewed the same beer a couple weeks after seeing this video wow what a great beer thanks .The last couple of months I finally can brew a good beer after fours years of trying
I brew this as my calibration batch. I bump 2 row to 8.25lbs for 1.048 and 5%. Have used Nottingham, US-05, several others, but now I use Lutra and I go grain to glass in 5 days. Great recipe
@3:35 yes it did something. If you pick for example brewfather and enter 1.044 as current and 1.040 as target SG at 15 liters (4ish gallons) it tells you to add 1.5 liter to get to 1.040. You added more than double that amount but still got 1.040 so yes, sugars were extracted.
Again, a great video. I've never heard of this beer before. I'd like to give it a try but is there any possible way you can include a metric version of you recipes?
I've always sparged. My high tech solution? A plastic watering can with rose attached. That way I replicate the even spray of a commercial brewery. Takes 77 degree celcius water with no problem. Been doing it for years.
Just had to look back lots of old videos to confirm - the taster (not sure you mentioned his name) HAS to be related to Evan from the Piwo Grodziskie video? Their mannerisms are identical! (And they look similar)
My first beer ever was a Centennial IPA. 1# 120L Crystal seep for 1 hour at 150 12#s of Pale Malt Extract 1oz at 60 min 1oz at 30min 1oz at 15min Nottingham Ale Yeast and 2ozs dry hop for 3 days. People who loved IPAs loved it. I hated it. I then started to try different beer styles and found I don't like most IPA.
I find Centennial to be far different from Cascade, so it shouldn't be called super Cascade. Cascade gives me citrus floral notes, Centennial gives me orange zest aromas. Like orange marmelade.
I hope that he doesn't have 500 bottles of unopened barrel aged beers...because man start to go through the stash!! I keep myself around 10 at a time so it doesn't get unwieldy

UK gallons or US gallons?

Nice! Yeah seems like a good universal choice.
Cheers mate I brewed the same beer a couple weeks after seeing this video wow what a great beer thanks .The last couple of months I finally can brew a good beer after fours years of trying
Awesome!
Been brewing since 2015 and I haven't made this beer either... it may well make it onto the next order list! Cheers!
Is that a Cloud Water hoodie I see? Nice Manchester brewery that.
Good spot!
The cinematography in this episode was great. It gave me huge Alton Brown and Good Eats vibes. I love the creativity. Cheers!
Oh you know just the right things to say. Thank you!

Oooh yes why wait. Get the hops while they’re fresh by using Lutra - nice.
I would most likely order this guy's beer online if it was being sold.
I still NEED a Clawhammer Supply system here in the UK. Please Martin, influence Kyle and the guys to sell one over here!!

Thank you!
I've brewed this a few times already ... definitely a favourite during the summer months 🍻
Thanks. Added to my To Brew List
I have been brewing for over 7 years now and like you, I have yet to brew the classic Centennial Blonde. I will need to add this to my list.
I brewed it a few times. Just an ordinary beer, nothing special. I really don't understand why this recipe got so many attention.
I bet you have performed a sparge before though 😆
Another outstanding tasting vid!
This is one of those recipes I've been meaning to brew for years after lurking on HBT and just never got around to it. Looks delicious. Cheers!
Love the stories from old times there! Really entertaining
Are you both living in the US full time now? The merging of accents is really interesting
Yes both been here a loooong time now.
Somehow I've managed to homebrew for >15 years without ever hearing of this beer. Recipe looks tasty.
I liked when you put the amounts of grain in percentage… do you have them??? For those that are not used to Oz or gallons units 😊 thanks!
Again, a great video. I've never heard of this beer before. I'd like to give it a try but is there any possible way you can include a metric version of you recipes?
I’ll add this one to the list!

What a great idea. Beats my Pyrex jug.

😆 No relation. But this made my day.
Would be great if you could share a little more detail around fermentation and keg settling . . . . I feel that’s where the magic happens
Can I ask where you bought your orange t shirt from? I am tall and need that extra length. Thanks
Eddie Bauer Tall Medium.
I am assuming that your volumes are UK gallons?
Never had a crack at this one either. Must remedy that soon!! xD
My first beer ever was a Centennial IPA.
1# 120L Crystal seep for 1 hour at 150
12#s of Pale Malt Extract
1oz at 60 min
1oz at 30min
1oz at 15min
Nottingham Ale Yeast
and 2ozs dry hop for 3 days.
People who loved IPAs loved it. I hated it. I then started to try different beer styles and found I don't like most IPA.
My first was a Scottish Ale. "if it's not Scottish it's crap !"
Hi , have you ever use a diastaticus yeast ? If yes how you prevent the gushing and the others problem this yeast do?
I find Centennial to be far different from Cascade, so it shouldn't be called super Cascade. Cascade gives me citrus floral notes, Centennial gives me orange zest aromas. Like orange marmelade.
I find the Centennial gives a more sharp hop flavor than Cascade too.
I like how the taste test music is like a soft porn music

I cringed when I saw that glass hydrometer bounce at 2:42 😂
I really shouldn’t be trusted with any glass instrument.
