I'm brewing a batch of this with the only recipe change is using Rahr Pale Ale malt (Not the Rahr American 2-Row malt) because it's available locally.
Does anyone have information about carbonation? I read some Beeradvocate reviews and people call it "moderate" carbonation. Any advice for bottling priming this clone?
I brewed a 10 gallon batch following this recipe and it was gone before I had the chance to try it side-by-side with the commercial version. Going to brew it again in a few weeks.
could i snag your 10 gallon recipe?
Just brewed this today with Rahr Pale Ale Malt as the base and I'm using WY1272 for the yeast. I'll report back with my results.

Will try one carboy with wyeast 1968 and one carboy with s-04
Curious to see which one will turn out the best
Using chinook for bittering as the local cascade here in montreal is at 4.4 AA
Planning a 70 minute boil
Will report results in 3-4 weeks

Yes, original seems to have more mouthfeel. Mine starts off pretty flavorfull and full, but then sort of fades to a more watery mouthfeel. I've been really trying to nail my process lately, so I picked this as a straightforward Pale ale recipe, that I could pick apart. I guess I could add some carapils. But I was hoping to reveal some sort of process related error. I know that's impossible to diagnose without explaining my whole process. I do seem to always finish a decent amount below Target FG. I used wyeast 1968 London ESB. But still finish 1010. Thanks for your info!
Last time I brewed this, I did my first 10 gallon batch and did half regular, then the other half 2oz cascade and 2 oz chinook. The chinook was a clear stand out (I know this is no longer a clone, but it was a damn good beer).
This time up, completely off the reservation, going to a C45 and the cascade/chinook dry hopping.
News and noteworthy: After brewing this recipe for 2 years multiple times, I finally got to drink this off a keg. I was not impressed. Hopefully it was old, but they have started up their Roanoke brewery and I was really counting on this being all that I had heard about.
This should probably be 2 separate posts.
