Notes

Originally used Willamette hops at both 15 and 5 minutes, but that had more of an English ale taste. Tasted great, but not right for style.

Tried Cascade at 15, but still tastes more English than American.

Now eliminating Willamette with Centennial at 15, Centennial and Cascade at 5.

Just because they were ready to use, added 1.2 oz fresh Cascade hops at 1 minute to most recent version; not reflected above.
