Hi just wondering if anyone has a Hopgoblin Clone Recipee, that they would like to share. This is one of my favourite beers and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in wanting to brew it.

Cheers

TidalPete has been working on a Hobgoblin for a while, I believe he has a close clone.

Holy crap! I just loved this beer, right now. It shall be made when I could hope to do it justice.

Just seen this & sad to say my Hobgoblin clone recipe is still not quite complete due to lack of time for research but I hope to finish it off ASAP.
As most of you already know Hobgoblin is a Northern English Brown & that's the form the recipe will take when I finally get my finger out.
Let's just hope it turns out something similar to a real deadset Hobgoblin. :icon_drool2:

I tried the following recipe and I managed to get pretty close to it... I'd probably add a little bit more styrian at flame off and maybe a little more chocolate malt. OG 1056 and FG 1016
