Lake Placid Ubu Ale AG clone?

[Charmin1073]

Has anyone tried to brew this beer? Would love some suggestions. Website says 38 IBU's, 7% ABV and 43 SRM. Has nothing regarding hops or grains used.

Thanks

Or yeast. I'd assume an English ale yeast.

From the horse's mouth: http://www.saranac.com/page/ubu-ale

I think the stats they show pretty much cover the questions you have qualitatively. I am no expert, but I'd say it uses one of the darker crystal malts somewhere between 3% and 8% and chocolate malt maybe about 5%, at a guess (I've learned a little goes a remarkably long way). It ought to have an IBU:OG ratio of at least 0.6.
That's all I can figure, and it's guesswork at that, so good luck and tell us how it goes!

Thanks. Didn't even think to check the Saranac site. More info than Lake Placid site.

I think this was in the BYO clones mag, not sure if it comes close because I haven't brewed it yet.

Did you end up brewing this? I'm very interested in any results...

 

[Charmin1073]

Yes we did end up brewing this. Turned out really nice. We got a little more efficiency than expected. OG ended up at 1.062 and FG finished at 1.016.

 

[Charmin1073]

We used 1 lb of white wheat instead of .5 lb and added .5 of Cluster at flame out.

I don't know where I got the OG of 1.065 and the FG of 1.016 in my recipe post. My software shows 1.059 and 1.015.
