A mate of mine brews at my place because he doesn't have the space to brew at his. Anyway he wants to make a brew for one of his mates.
So im asking for a mate of a mate...
Anyway, he wants to make a xxxx gold clone.
I've worked out this for him
95% pale ale malt
5% wheat malt
OG 1035 FG 1009 Alc 3.5%
POR to 16 ibus (i know cluster is the correct hop but we have a kg of por here)
s23 @ 14C
The above is what I would do to make this beer because I keg. However, he bottles so should i take into account the .5% alc he's going to pick up in the bottle and make the starting OG less? I figure the sugar is going to help the beer become more authentic anyway.
cheers
