Centennial IPA

Today I decided to use some of the Centennials I got almost a year ago. I bought a whole pound of 'em and have only used 20 grams thus far. This recipe should do the trick.

The Recipe:

9 lb 2-row pale malt
12 oz Victory malt
8 oz Cara-Pils

22 AAU (56g @ 11% AA) Centennial @ 60
11 AAU (28g @ 11% AA) Centennial @ 20
11 AAU (28g @ 11% AA) Centennial @ 10
11 AAU (28g @ 11% AA) Centennial @ 5
22 AAU (56g @ 11% AA) Centennial @ 0 (dry-hop; added 7 days into fermentation)

Whirlfloc tablet @ 15

Wyeast 1728 - Scottish Ale

Dough-in with 15 quarts and mashed for an hour at 149°. Batch sparged with 170-175° water to get 26 quarts for the boil.

O.G.: 1.056
Est. IBU: 107.6

Hit a mash efficiency of 81%, no doubt due to my adjustment of the malt mill noted in my last post. Perhaps if I just keep on top of this every 3-4 batches, I'll keep hitting the 80-85% efficiency range.
