I've got a bunch of Cascade on hand and want to use some for a blonde ale. I also have some CTZ and Simcoe, and not sure if maybe I should just use the CTZ for bittering instead of Cascade as I haven't used Cascades for bittering before. Looking for feedback/guidance... Here is the recipe I have so far:
Blonde Ale 4 gallon boil, top up to 5.5 gallons
6 lbs Briess Golden Light DME (3 at beginning, 3 at flameout)
4oz CaraPils
4oz Crystal 15
0.5oz Cascade @ 60
0.5oz Cascade @ 15
1.0oz Cascade @ 5
1.0 oz Cascade @ 0
Safale S-05
I have 8oz each of CaraPils and C15 on hand, but using all puts it at 16% of the grain bill which seems kinda over the top.
Just looking for thoughts/opinions/ideas.
