I want to attempt to clone New Belgium's 1554. My first attempt was a flop, but I think that was an issue with trying to re-use harvested yeast. I'll start with fresh yeast next time. I've read quite a few recipes on the internet, but none of them seem to share the same ingredients listed on New Belgium's website. This is what their website currently says. ABV: 6.0% ~ IBU: 21 ~ Hops: Nugget ~ Yeast: Lager ~ Malts: Pale, Carapils, Black, Munich & Chocolate. Medium to light body, drinks full flavor.
Do these ingredients and proportions seem reasonable based on the limited information from the website?
