Can you Brew It recipe for Fish Brewing Leavenworth Eight Mile Alt

This is based on the rebrew which was deemed "cloned."

All recipes are (unless otherwise specified): 6 gallons post-boil, 70% efficiency, Morey for color, 15% evaporation, 7.27 gallons preboil, Rager IBU, and most hops are in grams not ounces. Most, if not all recipes are primary only (no secondary).

If you brew this, please reply with your results for discussion.

The recipe instructions listed for this episode are quite confusing. The above listed is my best attempt. If you are interested in brewing this, I would contact Mike McDole to verify the recipe.

IIRC, the finishing hops were Halltauer and Spalt at a 2:1 ratio.

I was quite pleased with this brew. It turned out much better than my previous attempts at an alt using various LHBS kits. Sampled it at 4 weeks, and found it ready to drink.

FWIW, I used the hop schedule as I copied it from the podcast:
0.31 oz Hallertauer [5.70 %] (60 min) Hops 7.2 IBU
1.60 oz Spalter [5.50 %] (20 min) Hops 12.1 IBU
1.60 oz Hallertauer [5.70 %] (20 min) Hops 12.5 IBU

I haven't had the original from Fish Brewing, so I can't say that I've managed a clone, but am nevertheless quite pleased with the results. I'll be brewing this again, without changes.
