Notes

Recipe notes from SN: Celebration Ale Specs from Sierra Nevada's Assistant Brewmaster Here is the specs... Note that color is recorded in EBC. Gravities are in Plato. You can ignore the XTF (accelerated tank force). The ABV is 0.2% low to accommodate the bottle conditioning process to get 6.8. Here are the raw ingredients: Caramel is Crisp C-45, Two-row is Canadian. Another recent tidbit I received from the SN brewers when I asked about mash/ferm temps and dry hop regimen: "We adjust mash temp as we see some variation with malt (blending). I would start at 154F.   Fermentation temp is 68F but with our large fermenters, I would say 70F on average within the bulk of the tank.   We add dry hops after remove some yeast at about 5-6 Plato and let them sit until filtration. Usually day 3-4 and then filter at day 14-17." ----- Some more specifics on the hop additions as published a couple years ago in BYO (5 gallon batch) are: 21 g Chinook, 12% AA, 100 min 14 g Centennial, 10% AA, 100 min 43 g Cascade, 5% AA, 10 min 19 g Centennial, 10% AA, 0 min 38 g Cascade, 5% AA, 0 min 38 g Cascade, 5% AA, dry 19 g Centennial, 10% AA, dry Bear in mind this was 2 years ago, and I'm sure they tweak the recipe each year.  Some other recipe notes include mash at 157.5 F, boil for 100 min, ferment at 68 F, and dry hop for 5 days in secondary. --- Here are some additional resources for info about the potential recipe that were published prior to the BYO article, including an interview with Steve Dresler on the Brewing Network. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/jamil-show-tastys-sn-celebration-clone-176201/ http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/660 ----------------------- og - 1.662 - 15.2 plato fg - 1.016 - 4 plato Dry hop starting on day 3 of fermentation with '4 day' hops, transfer to keg/secondary on day 7.
