Notes

Using approximately 9.25 gallons of water, and batch sparging mash in with 4.65 gallons of 165 degree water to get a mash temp of 152-153*F. Batch sparge with 4.65 gallons of 178-180 degree water and proceed to boil with hop additions as noted.

I had two different crops of cascade and centennial so I used the oldest first. The first edition Centennial were approximately 8.7 AA when fresh, so I deducted approximately 10% of the total to make up for age. The same goes for the first edition of Cascade with IBU's corrected by approximately 10%.
