but when do you add the hops in. this recipe says it has a 75 min boil.

oh and yes nb did expand. but not really what ya think. they opened up a fine dining resturant in downtown New Albany. they brew at the location on grant line rd though where they serve pizza and things like that. more of a bar atmosphere.

So, has anyone brewed this recipe since this thread was made? If so, verdict? How does it compare to the NB version? I really would like to brew a clone of this beer, and so far this has been the only clone recipe I have found. I'd like to hear some feedback before I spend the money on all the ingredients.

This was turned on to me by my wife. I really like this brew but have since formulated a hoppy palate and crave their beer "Ranger" more often now. As for the name...Sorry I'm at a scramble as to its origin

The beer's name is explained in the thread that is referred to earlier on in this one. I'm hoping that in the time that has passed since it was first written, that someone has brewed this recipe. Would be an awesome beer to have on tap, so hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

Mash 154 (or should it be 155.4?)60min
Wyeast 2112 Cal Lager ferment 65-68

Looks like the recepie that was published in BYO in December. I had to up the amounts a little bit to get a 6 gallon batch (5.5 in fermenter, 5 in keg) and add some 2-row since I ran out of pale malt.

Interesting that the hops (magnum vs Target) and alcohol % have changed slightly. I wonder if they changed the recipe, or the old email is an error?
