So I had been planning this clone for a while and when I was doing research, no one had quite come up with a clone for this (I heard things through the grapevine that there might be a clone that surfaced recently, but I'm posting mine anyway). The brewery was fairly tight lipped and I've seen recipes ranging from the simple to ones with 4+ hop varieties and 7 or 8 additions.
While not a 100% replica this clone tastes pretty damn close and if you like Little Sumpin' you will love this!
I was talking to a Languanitas rep a little while ago and they said the beer was 50% wheat, a little crystal and 2 row for the rest. When it came to hops, think the 3 "C" which, if I remember correctly were Chinook, Centennial, and Cascade (if I'm wrong on that, please correct me, but that's what I used and it turned out fine!).
Without further ado:
Never changed the beer smith file, but I dry hopped with 2 oz (not 1 oz) of whole leaf cascade hops (all other additions were pellets). Also note that I use an Electric HERMS setup so I didnt add any water to get up to 168 for the mash out.
