So I received the tasting notes back on this beer.

"Well done brew. highly carbonated. Only real flaw that kept this out of excellent was carbonation."

"This was a really good beer. The carbonation, per guidelines can be medium to high. Excellent use of hops and malt. Very good job."

"Maybe a touch more body would help smooth out this otherwise great beer."

"Malty sweet, hoppy flavor appropriate to style."

Can someone convert this recipe to a Partial Mash for me?

sorry morebeer, I just saw this - I don't do partial mashes, so I can't help out; but heck, you're in Montana - just head over to Big Sky and get the real thing!

Yeah, actually I drink the real thing all the time. I just wanted to try and make some to see how close it would come out.

I just listened to the cybi and here is the recipe they used to "clone" it:

WLP002
Ferment 67 ramp to 70
70% efficiency
7.27 preboil
6 gallon batch
SG = 1.052
IBU – 30

10.8 lb Pale 2 Row
5.5 oz Chocolate (400-420)
1.25 lb Crystal 75 or 80
.5 oz Black Patent (500-525)

1.4 oz East Kent Golding 4.75% 60 min
.6 oz Willamette 10 min
.6 oz Liberty

Mash 154*

These were my quick notes while sitting at work....

After 17 days in primary I just took my first sample. Delicious! Will probably just leave it there instead of going to secondary.

I ended up with only 4.75 gallons in primary, so my OG was higher at 1.065. Final gravity is at 1.011. I used Wyeast 1272 - American Ale II as my yeast and very pleased with it. Here is my hops list:

1.5 oz Fuggles 4% (First Wort Hop)
1.0 oz Liberty 3% (30 mins)
1.5 oz Willamette 4.5% (15 mins)
1.0 oz Liberty 3% (0 min)

My last few batches I have boiled off 0.5-1.0 gallons more than I expected. I will probably sparge an extra half gallon the next brewday.
