I brewed the extract version of SN Celebration using the hop schedule that denny posted. I can’t wait to try it.

I don’t have my brew day log in front of me but I seem to remember mashing at 153°. Going to bottle this weekend so we’ll see how it comes out.
I kegged the SN Celebration ale and got to try it today. I am very impressed with it, it tastes very close to the original. I am glad I used the hop schedule that I got from this forum, and will definately brew this again. Thanks to all that took the time to reply to my posts.

I know! Sounds crazy, huh? But that’s from one of the brewers.

It does. I’m scared to go over 155. :shock:
I went ahead and brewed this a couple months ago. It’s nice but came out a little off. First off, I only mashed @ 152. I don’t remember where I got that temp from but obviously I missed the post about mashing at 157. Could this lead to a really watery mouth feel? Also there is next to no head retention. The actual beer has a really intense head on it and I want to re-create that. Would the higher mash temp maybe correct that or should I go ahead and add some wheat to the grain bill?
