Thinking about trying the extract version posted on page three. But 4 pounds carapils? Gotta be a mistake...plus I think another one pound of caramel?
Only one other person addressed the issue, is it REALLY coming out good with 4 pounds of carapils, or am I right in thinking 0.5-1.0 pounds is more appropriate (for 5 gallons...)?
Your recipe in the BeerSmith file is a bit different than what is shown in post #1.
Any specific reason for the differences? Addition of Honey Malt, less Pearle, different yeast.

I brewed this one, and it turned out pretty good! I missed the mash temp by two degrees, and some of the bittering hops jumped out of the kettle early on, so it's not a real clone, but it's still DAMN GOOD BEER!
Thanks for the recipe, biermuncher!
