Total Hops (10 ounces: 1oz summit, 1oz chinook, 2oz centennial, 3oz cascade, 1oz citra, 1oz galaxy, 1oz simcoe) <---All hops are pellet

Brewing Hops schedule:
1 ounce Summit @60
1 ounce Chinook @15
1 ounce Centennial @10
1 ounce Cascade @5
1 ounce Centennial @0 (Flameout)
.5 ounce Citra @0 (Flameout)
.5 ounce Galaxy @0 (Flameout)
.5 ounce Simcoe @0 (Flameout)

At flameout add 1 oz Centennial, .5 oz Galaxy, .5 oz Citra and .5 oz Simcoe. Cover the Brew Kettle if you want and perform a hopstand for 15-20 minutes, then discard hop bag and cool wort to 80 degrees.

Dry Hops:
2 ounces cascade, .5 ounce each of Citra, Galaxy and Simcoe added directly to primary

Fermented in primary for 9 days. Fermentation temp controlled at 68 degrees. After 9 days I dry hopped for six days adding hop pellets directly to primary (no bag). Bottled on day 15 and tasted just 8 days later. Beer was carbed up nice at that point and ready to drink. Carbonation after 8 days shown in picture below.

I gotta try this!!!! what might be a good replacement for the "0.5 lb Northern Brewers Nocturnal Select Grain Blend: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/nocturnal-select-grain-blend.html" ????? I would like to get my grains from my local brew supply store

The nocturnal select grain blend consists of these 4 grains:

-Fawcett Pale Chocolate
-English Dark Crystal
-Weyermann Dehusked Carafa III
-English Extra Dark Crystal

So what I would do is add 2 ounces of each if possible. If you can't find them all at your LHBS then I would just add what you can to come up with a half pound. I'll edit my original post to put in this information.

Good luck! :mug:
 
Do you have a conversion to all grain?

12 lb 2row
1 1/4 lb car80
1 lb roasted barley
.375 lb German - Carafa III
.25 lb American - Chocolate
.125 lb Fawcett Pale Chocolate
.125 lb English Dark Crystal
.125 lb English Extra Dark Crystal
