Has anyone come across or used a clone for either of the following beers? 1. Hornswoggled - Cigar City 2. Prouty's - Jackie O's 3. Strong Patrick - Beau's All Natural 4. Brian Boru - Three Floyd's 5. Jameson's - Pizza Port If so it would be awesome of you to share. Thanks!
Biran Boru has been brought up a few times. No one seems to take a stab at it. The FFF website has a little info on it.
And there's usually only one or two people who will respond to these red threads. I've tried twice and will consider this one a strike out. People generally aren't enthusiastic about clone threads, but especially red ales. I couldn't tell you why.
Hmmm, well that's too bad. Was hoping to get a little help. Haven't had any luck searching. Thanks for the heads up.
It's impossible to brew a bad red ale. If you have certain qualities that you like or are looking for you're better off with a recipe critique thread than using that four letter word "clone."
Cool. I made a great Imperial Red with a friend a while back but he's being stingy with the recipe (was supposed to be both ours, but I failed to write it down and he has dreams of opening up a brewery) so I figured I'd start off with a red that gets good reviews and then tweak to my liking from there.
Here is HB42's Red recipe. I'm drinking one now I brewed with some little variations for grain that I had on hand. Used Canadian Pale instead of the Maris but worked fine. This is a nice recipe. The Irish ale yeast makes it very drinkable. Make a starter. Irish red ale 9 lbs Maris otter or 6 lbs Extra light DME 1 lb Crystal malt 40L 1 oz Roasted barley 1 oz Northern brewer (60 min) 1 oz Goldings (10 min) Irish ale yeast
