I am attemping a clone at this wonderful beer. Here is what I have, any thoughts on the recipe, or suggestions for a yeast let me know.

Here's from the website
The Terrapin India Style Brown Ale is a head on collision between a hoppy, west coast IPA and a complex, malty brown ale. Brewed with 5 varieties of hops and 7 different malts, this hybrid style represents the best of both worlds.

ABV: 6.0%

IBU’s: 65

O.G.: 15.1

Malt: 2-Row Pale, Dark Munich, Victory, Special Roast, Crystal 65, Crystal 85, Chocolate

Hops: Nugget, Chinook, Centennial, Willamette, Columbus (Dry Hop)

Your recipe looks pretty good. Here is a thread with my attempt. The hops i used were wrong, but i felt like the grain bill was pretty close.

Yea, I saw that. I just don't think there is 5 lbs of munich in a 5 gallon batch of terrapin. How did you like the US-05 for it?

Your right. I just really love munich! As far as the US-05 goes, it is a nice clean yeast which i think is important for any hop forward beer. You don't want anything getting in between your taste buds and those delicious alpha acids!

I would think about swapping the 60 & 20 minute additions putting the Nugget at 60 minutes & Chinook at 20 minutes. I think you'll get more flavor out of the Chinook whereas I tend to think of Nugget as a more neutral flavor hop. I suspect that also fits better with what they do. Their list order is likely the addition order.

+1 on this. I would send him an email with a grain bill you drew up using the information off of the website and ask if you are close.

Doesnt sound like he took my advise. I cant say that I dont have the exact Wake and Bake recipe

I will never post it or give it out to anyone for respect of the brewery. It is a local one to me and one of my favorites in the country. I support them whenever possible. I go to the brewery tours often and Spike and the other brewers are always around and dont mind BSing with you at all.
