I've been interested in cloning or closely replicating Weyerbacher Imperial pumpkin for a while as it's tied with Pumking as my favorite pumpkin ale. My friends' dad is Weyerbacher's national sales manager and he gave me some decent info on the grain bill, hops, IBU's and yeast. I am currently not skilled enough to engineer a clone. If anyone has tasted imperial pumpkin and is versed in creating recipes I'd appreicate it if you could point me in the right direction on this brew. I have approx. a year to dial in a good pumpkin recipe so I can brew enough to serve at my wedding next October. Here's the info I have so far.

21 IBU's
Grist: pale malt, Munich, CaraMunich II, and Caramalt

I've did a short survey of pumpkin beers and Weyermann's Imperial is only outdone by ST Pumking. It was excellent.

Good luck with your clone.
