Zywiec Porter Clone Recipie

[Dementedchook]

Hi everybody,
having tried this beer and loved it I was dissapointed to find it's now being sold in stubbies instead of the 500ml flip tops. Still being sold at $5 a pop though. End result is I'm keen to find a good clone recipe. Extract, partial or all grain. I've done abit of digging on the net but havn't found much as yet.

Where are you getting yours from? I pay 75 dollars for a case of 24 330ml bottles. For a 9.5%ish percent beer, thats really damn good value.

That being said, would be interested in seeing what people think of cloning it.

All I know is that it's actually a lager. Baltic porters use a bottom fermenting yeast as far as i know.

I had one of these puppies last night not a bad beer would also like to clone

This seems to be the problem, I can find a bunch of stuff of people asking if anyone has a clone and no actual recipes. Reckon I'll bookmark this and start experimenting using a chocolate porter or coffee porter as a base.
Any clues appreciated!

You might want to start experimenting with Baltic Porter recipes instead as Zywiec is a Baltic Porter.

There's a recipe in this thread for a Zywich BP by Bigfridge, which I assume is meant to be a Zywiec BP. I can't vouch for how good a clone it is as I haven't brewed it but it must be a pretty good drop in it's own right as it got 2nd place in the HAG comp.
