Raising this post from the dead. In my latest attempt, I went off what Ultra said in the post before this. I took 3 lbs of raisins and hit them with a torch. I added them at flameout and the results were near dead on. This is the last one I brewed and I started it in December of last year and just bottled it tonight after a long secondary. I tasted it and the raisin flavor held up really good. I am sticking with this recipe. It seems like a pretty good clone. Make a super big starter for this.
