how to clone with an extract?

jhubert · 11-24-2010, 01:21 AM

I bought a 6pack of Ranger IPA - New Belgium. I really really like this beer. I would like to find an extract kit that would most closely resemble this beer or find a way to tweek a kit to make it close. For those of you not familiar with that beer, it is 6.5 % alcohol, hopped with Simcoe, Cascade and Chinook hops. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Do an internet search for "Ranger IPA extract clone."

Edit: Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a dick but in all but a few cases you can find a clone for almost any beer by doing a simple google search.

That link is for a 10 gallon batch, so keep the hop schedule the same, but cut the amount in half if you want a 5 gallon batch. For grains/extracts, I'd use .75lbs 60L Crystal and 6lbs Extra Light DME (assuming a 5 gallon batch, of course).

How does that sound?
