Extract Nugget Nectar Clone

[gmull525]

Does anyone have a recipe for a Nugget Nectar clone using extracts? I haven't made the jump to all grain yet, but I have been dying to have something that recreates Nugget Nectar since I can't get it where I live now.

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

No problem! Send me some when it's ready! Love that beer! Have not tried the recipe myself yet. Even though I do AG, I may go back to extract to try that one of these days!

This is a really silly question I'm sure but I've only done a few 5 gallon extract batches. Each time I've boiled 3 gallons of wort and then topped up to 5 gallons in my fermenter. So when I read something like:

Boil Size: 6.25 gal
Post Boil Volume: 4.75 gal
Batch Size (fermenter): 5.50 gal
Bottling Volume: 5.25 gal

I'm assuming that just means you start with 6.25 gallons, after boiling the wort etc you end up with 4.75 gallons then you top it up to 5.50 gallons in your fermenter and after dry hopping etc you finish with 5.25 gallons left to bottle with. Is this correct?

What are the benefits of starting with a larger boil? Do you need to use more ingredients etc? Thanks.

Hi! Has anyone tried this yet? How close is it? Should I look for a different recipe?
