I bought 12 cases of Celebration Ale this year, in bottles for $30 a case. Love it!

Awesome grain-to-glass video on brewing beer! Your comprehensive walkthrough from selecting the grains to the final pour is incredibly helpful for both beginners and experienced brewers alike. I loved how you explained each step with clarity and shared practical insights. The attention to detail in discussing the different grains, mashing techniques, and the fermentation process was top-notch. Your passion for brewing really shines through, and it's contagious! Thanks for sharing your expertise; looking forward to trying out these tips in my next homebrew. Cheers to great content and even better beer!

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Thanks! I appreciate the support! 🍻

[@TheBruSho]

Gotta love when the recipe comes together! Cheers to you for nailing it down

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Thanks! I wore your skeleton shirt again on my live stream last night. I gave you a little plug! Lol

[@TheBruSho]

@@CityscapeBrewing thanks man! I’ll have to go back and watch it, cheers!

[@wildjames]

Just came across your channel. Really well put together video. I'll be watching more. Thanks!

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! 🍻

[@bryanjenkins6112]

Just found some Celebration today at my local beer store. Drinking one right now. Good stuff bud.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Worth Brewing for sure!

[@bryanjenkins6112]

I put all the ingredients in at Morebeer, it came to 55.71 LOL 59 is free shipping. LOL

[@CityscapeBrewing]

More hops for future brews! 🍻

[@paulywill]

So confused on lower mash temperature causing it to be drier….my club said same thing about my Vienna Lager being a little on the sweet side…. It counter intuitive that MORE sugar makes the final drier. Great overview and tweaking of a recipe!

[@kingquesoIV]

Warmer mash temps create more unfermentable sugars. This is why higher mash temps produce sweeter, fuller bodied beers. Lower mash temp causes beer to be drier. Look up alpha and beta amylase if you don’t understand this concept. Also warmer mash temperature does not make it more sugar. I think you’re conflating efficiency with conversion

[@CityscapeBrewing]

The comment above is correct. Warmer mash temps create unfermentable sugars. Lower mash temperatures create sugars that the yeast can consume and therefore convert into alcohol and not add sweetness to your beer. The high temps will leave those sugars, it will have a full/thicker mouth feel and more malty sweeter flavor because the yeast can't consume those sugars.

[@Hellbrews]

Awesome!! I gotta try brewing this, Cheers ! 🍻🍻

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Soo gooood! 💯🍻

[@curtpick628]

One of my favorite iPa. SN uses all loose leaf hops. That may be where they get that punch of aroma. May want to whirlpool in some cones at 0 minute . I will load your recipe and give it a shot.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Definitely worth Brewing!

[@havarfjerdingen1695]

Looks great. Wish I could find SN Celebration in Norway. Perhaps just try making it myself. PS. The original looks a hint darker on the video, but that could be the light and background.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Definitely make it! The color is almost identical, the lighting does matter, because I thought the same thing when my beer was on the other side too.

[@CTP-bbq-HundHutte]

Thanks!

[@CityscapeBrewing]

You're welcome! I appreciate you! 🍻🤘✊

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Love Celebration!!!! Cheers Dennis 🍻

[@CityscapeBrewing]

So good! 💯

[@dneff306]

Great video! I always learn alittle from each one!

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Thanks! 🍻💯

[@NWsmallbatchBrewing]

Cheers I just bought one to try because you hyped it up so much lol

[@CityscapeBrewing]

I like it. It's like an Amber version of an IPA. Little more malt but still got the bite and bitterness I like

[@user-bx7zi9wp5p]

Took the recipe, Centennial is my favorite beer as well, and I never found it this year 😫😫. I will be tweaking this for my 1 gallon system.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

It's a GOOD one! Let me know how it turns out! 🍻

[@theliberalrepublican]

@@CityscapeBrewing Damn skippy, I will!

[@Murrauder585]

That was a lot of changes to OG recipe couldn't that have made it hard to nail what got you exactly where you are now

[@CityscapeBrewing]

I think all of those things had an impact, but I knew I needed to do more than one thing. If I had to guess the biggest impact was the mash temp lowered and the IBUs increased slightly. The yeast would also have some impact, but I think less than the other two

[@aaronkopp9062]

This keg wouldn’t last long. You kick it?

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Haha only did that tasting video on Saturday... So not yet but going fast! 🍻

[@Nefariousrouge]

Couldn’t you just recover the yeast from the 6 pack and build up a starter to get closer to replicating? I thought Sierra Nevada was unfiltered.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Yes, I've harvested the yeast from Bells before. I wasn't 100% sure about Sierra Nevada... But I think you're right. My next Brew Day video I will be doing that with the bells hazy-hearted IPA. Keep on the lookout for that.

[@GentleGiantFan]

Imperial sells Bell's house yeast I think (A65?), so that might make it easier.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Yes it is Imperial A62 and you need to buy it from bells website store. They don't sell it anywhere else

[@GentleGiantFan]

@@CityscapeBrewing Well that sucks. I understand why, but still sucks. I thought you could buy it anywhere Imperial is sold. Good excuse to get the real thing if you have to harvest from some bottles.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Yep! I've done that a bunch of times. When you can harvest the yeast, it's essentially Buy a six pack and get a free yeast! Lol
