I did a Simcoe Golden Promise SMaSH here:

Now I am going to do a Cascade version so I can do a side-by-side comparison. I originally thought I would use Centennial but the wife voted for Cascade after some of the great fresh hop beers we have had lately that used Cascade hops exclusively.
I bumped up the volume slightly because I had to use more Cascade hops to get the same IBU rating as the other SMaSH (50 IBU), and in my system more hops equals less beer.
Here's the plan:
7 gallon batch
17.25 lbs Simpson's Golden Promise (Toast 1 pound for 30 minutes @ 350 and 1 pound for an hour @ 350)
2.00oz Cascade @ 60 minutes
1.25oz Cascade @ 30 minutes
1.25oz Cascade @ 15 minutes
1.25oz Cascade @ 10 minutes
1.25oz Cascade @ 05 minutes
0.50oz Cascade @ 00 minutes
1.00oz Cascade dry hop 7 days
White Labs California Ale Yeast 001
Mash: 154 for 60 minutes
OG 1.074
FG 1.016
ABV: 7.5%
IBU: 50.8
