So my favorite beer is Fat Tire but they do not sell it in OK where i live so i decided to try a clone after searching all over most clone recipes differed greatly from what New Belgium's website said they use so finally I came across this http://coloradohomebrew.com/content/new-belgium-fat-tire-clone

I used White Labs WLP001 instead of the WYeast b/c my LHBS does not carry WYeast and they told me it is the same strain but anyway after trying the results I find it very close i actually got to do a side by side with the real thing after someone brought me some FT from Texas and it is a bit more hoppy but very close!!
