CA State Competition 3rd Place Winner

2009-12-02 12:25am

This is one of the first in a series of Launchpad Pales I've done the past year. Since then I've changed to recipe to be more "west coast": The yeast is now Wyeast 1056. Since the hop shortage/crisis is over, the hops are Cascade, Simcoe and Amarillo with a little Centennial to soften the citrus edge. Current versions and variations have taken 1st and 3rd in the CA State Competition.
