I bought everything for this brew today... this one was kind of expensive... it was close to $50.00 for everything... hopefully it'll be good... has anyone tried this exact recipe..??

I brewed this about a month and a half ago. It turned out really good...in fact one of our best brews to date. I ended up using some different hops than the warrior that it calls for though (can't remember off the top of my head what i used though, and i don't ahve my notes with me). I actually like the clone better than the real thing, and it's still pretty young even.

3 AAU Warrior (30)
2.5 AAU Tettnang (30)
.25 oz. Cascade (0)
Wyeast 1335 or White Labs WLP002
3.3 lbs. Oregon Fruit Products Apricot Puree or 3 oz. apricot flavoring (add in secondary)

If doing AG - omit malt extracts and mash 9 lbs. 10 oz. of pale malt in 12.5 quarts water - single infusion at 152 degrees.

Boil 90 minutes.

Ooops. . . I left out 3.3 lbs. of Light Liquid Malt Extract. I hope you haven't brewed this yet.

Sorry.

I actually bought the BYO clone book... so I bought the ingredients off there... I didnt even notice that it was missing anything...

I was unable to get the warrior hops at my LHBS... supposedly something only commercial breweries can get them.. I dont know... I had to get a different hops.. I'll post the name once I get home and check it out... I am brewing this weekend, so hopefully this will come out good... it was requested by someone...

I've gotten Warrior hops before, wonder if they are going away? FWIW, I got mine from North Country. I love Warrior.

Gonna be on this side of the water any time soon? You can stop by and get some if you really want to stay in line with the recipe.

I may have to take you up on that offer... I dont need very much and HomeBrewUSA didnt have warrior hops, nor did they say they ever have them... I'd rather stick as close to the recipe as I can, that way if something tastes off I can't blame it on having the wrong hops...

Sandy · 01-03-2007, 01:24 PM

Yeah, if you really want it to be as close as possible to the "real thing" you'll want the Warrior hops if you can get them. Like i said, i used a different hop, and i can definatly tell the difference. Warrior has a taste of it's own (which i really like for most brews). However, FWIW, i actually like my version of this beer better.
