I want to clone "The Abyss" from Deschutes.
Ive looked around and no one appears to have the recipe down and those who have tried to brew it in the past never respond to threads. So I want to brew it and hope at least a few of you on here do to so we can have our own special reserve of the stuff.
Like all deschutes brews, they offer some starting help on their site.
