Batch 288, Centennial Pale Ale

 I'm still short of ingredients, but I have quite a bit of Centennial, so this one is all Centennial. Not a SMASH, I'm good on grain, just short on hops.

After a recent update to my computer, BrewTarget quit running, so I did some debugging on the latest code and got it running again. I set it to print my recipe as html, then copied and pasted here, pretty slick! (Don't do a view source, the html from both blogger and BrewTarget are shit.)

Pretty easy brewday, the weather even cooperated and didn't get too hot. No problems, everything went smoothly for some reason.

Mashed with 8 gallons at 165F, hit 154F in the tun. Adjusted pH to 5.34. Actually, I was a bit short on Crystal 120, so I used 7 5/8 oz of 120 and 4 3/8 oz Crystal 60.
