Fat Tire extract recipe help

Can anyone suggest a recipe for a Fat Tire clone using LME and/or DME?

Thanks!

Look in the recipe database- there are a couple. Or under my avatar in the recipe pull down.

I don't have any input on a recipe, but I can suggest a yeast.

If you can still find it, Wyeast released a Fat Tire strain from New Belgium this fall as part of their VSS (very special strains) program.

Go with this, complements of Tess and Mark Sazmatulski (Beer Captured):
8 oz. 80 crystal
6 oz German Munich
4 oz US Victory
3 oz Belgian Biscut
4# LME
2.5# DME
1/3 oz Yakima Magnum (15%)-bittering
1/2 oz Hallertau (flavor, 15 min.)
1/4 Willamette (aroma, 1 min)

Ferment with Wyeast 1762 or Wyeast 1388 (go with 1762). Have at it!!!

I've made the AG version and it is very tasty.
