The Beer You.d Most Like To Clone?

[Mayor of Mildura]

bwahaha :lol: well with that as a promise I'm going strait down to the brewery to see if i can steal a recipe or 2.

 

[Charst]

VB: Not what you might expect but every time my mates drink my homebrew they look at me like all that body, that flavour and hop character etc. is a fault, a mistake. If i could brew a really good VB clone my Dad and mates would realise that what i brew isn't a mistake but a deliberate crack at creating a beer with flavour and character.

post that.


Avec le bons de la brasserie dupont. Fking love this beer.

Epic Mayhem :icon_drool2:

I got a recipe from somewhere and fecked with it a bit in BS1. It went a bit whacky in BS2 and I have made some tiddlyfied corrections to it just now so the notes may not hold true. I would welcome some discussion that I can look at later when sober.

Another that got confudled going into BS2 and I have tweaked just now and perhaps should not have. I would welcome discussion about it to look at in the sober light.

[razz]

You need to make sure the mash temp will eventually get the final gravity that this beer displays in the original, I think it's about 1.012. The US05 will get it there but don't overdo the infusion rest temp.

Sames... so i could sell it to bogans also Pilsner Urquell and Budvar. If i could accurately create those 3 beers, i'd declare myself God.

But for my tastes... Delirium Tremens... blows my mind

Tremens and Duvel both lack a little flavour that I want in a beer. I know they are considered great but for that amount of alcohol and the subtle taste they are great but If I was to pick a desert island beer is wouldn't be either. Id be rotten for one.

 

[bignath]

.....Pilsner Urquell and Budvar. If i could accurately create those 3 beers, i'd declare myself God.

Yeah, no shit. I'd love to be able to accurately do the 'Urq and Budvar.

The ability to create a beer like these, nice crisp, clean and delicate, in my opinion is very impressive. I'm no where near there yet in my abilities.....

 

[jimmysuperlative]

Rogers (Little Creatures), Punk IPA (Brewdog) and Alpha Pale Ale ...only three taps in my fridge!

...if I could nail any one of these down... :icon_drool2:

 

[Fish13]

Bush Shack Chocolate beer and LC Pilsner.

 

[Tilt]

Croucher Pilsner, Three Boys Oyster Stout and LaChouffe would be my three - contrasting styles to match what ever the mood is.
They'd be my standards and I'd die a happy man if I nailed any one of them ... let alone all three.

 

[mje1980]

I've come up with a start on making boddo's. Next batch ( maybe tuesday ) i'll start the journey!. Fingers crossed. If i had a beer engine it'd be even better haha. Might have to borrow the brew clubs.

Tremens and Duvel both lack a little flavour that I want in a beer. I know they are considered great but for that amount of alcohol and the subtle taste they are great but If I was to pick a desert island beer is wouldn't be either. Id be rotten for one.

Have you tried trois monts Charst?

A little duvelish but with something extra and more complex.

I got a recipe from somewhere and fecked with it a bit in BS1. It went a bit whacky in BS2 and I have made some tiddlyfied corrections to it just now so the notes may not hold true. I would welcome some discussion that I can look at later when sober.

Thanks Malted ,that looks pretty good. It certainly should have enough hops to get close to Epic Mayem.I will save this recipe until mid next year when hopefully Riwaka will be readily available again. I think the Riwaka/Cascade combo is becoming my favourite because i love the Lobethal double hopped Ipa too and that is dry hopped with Riwaka and Cascade also.

 

[mickos]

Mine is more close to home - White Rabbit Dark Ale ( love the taste ), I got fairly close with a goop pack, just need to tweek.

James Squires 150 lashes, nice and easy to drink on hot summers days

Also was at the James Squires brew pub in Melb, and they had a beer called Speculator, a very nice drop.

If anyone has reciped for these using Goop cans, can you forward them on. Much appreciated.

 

[roo_dr]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, of which I have one in the fermentor right now. :beerbang:

+1

And Brooklyn Lager - just got back from the 'States and it went down by the 16oz full, very nice!


Edit: And Sharp's Doom Bar :icon_drool2:

 

[Nick JD]

Yeah, no shit. I'd love to be able to accurately do the 'Urq and Budvar.

The ability to create a beer like these, nice crisp, clean and delicate, in my opinion is very impressive. I'm no where near there yet in my abilities.....

I'm finding the key to it is retaining huge amounts of sweetness. Both those Boh Pils are very sweet, and while it can be done with decoctions (painful) my latest "**** it, why not!" attempt with 20% melanoidin and 40 IBUs is the closest I've ever got.

 

[stux]

Kasteel Bruin 11 - my favourite Belgian

 

[probablynathan]

Mine is Theakston's Old Peculier as it is my wife's favourite beer.

Having a go at brewing one on the long weekend using the recipe in "Brew your own British Real Ale" by Graham Wheeler.
