Anyone have a clone for this? Or even a completely different recipe for something in the same style?

I'm looking to make a beer for the warmer weather coming up. I was thinking something along the lines of New Belgium Shift. The problem is I can't find a clone recipe anywhere online. Does anyone have a clone recipe for Shift or a recipe for something along the same line?

Thanks for the info. Just to clarify I was refering to spraying the outside of the package. Not the hops themselves.

So all I need to do is spray the hop packages with StarSan before I open them and just pour them in? Well that is easier than I expected.

I'm going to give dry hopping a go for my next batch and have a few questions. 1. The recipe says "dry hop Centennial hops 7 days." Does that mean add at seven days or leave for seven days? 2. When you dry hop with pellet hops what do you do about sanitizing them before dumping in the...

Just as an update, I google searched for a while and called basically everyone I could find that fills. The minimum for 10 lbs is $30. Everyone else was within $5. Air Gas and Machine and Welding only exchange tanks of 5 and 20 lb. Since I have a 10 lb tank this doesn't help much.

I tried this in the regional boards but only recieved three views so I'm going to give it a shot in the higher traffic area. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get 10 lb CO2 tanks filled in the Raleigh area? So far I've found $30 and up for 10 lb filling. I've also tried...

Does anyone know the best place to get 10 lb CO2 tanks filled in the Raleigh area? I'm looking somewhere with a good price that doesn't screw you over and not fill the tank correctly.

Could someone give me some help in converting this over to a 5 gallon all grain recipe?

I would chill using an immersion chiller and then you could dump the hot break out through the dump port in the bottom. As for the crud ring around the top, I was assuming that the chiller and heat stick would displace enough water that when you removed them the wort would then be below the...

I'm considering buying a conical fermentor and using a heat stick to boil in the fermentor so I don't have to worry with any transfers. What I would like to know is if I go with regular fittings instead of tri clamps will they get hot enough to kill the nasties? Obviously everything would be...

Where in Beersmith do you find the suggested carb levels?

I'm brewing an all grain Fat Tire clone today and can't find any info on carb levels. What is the recommended carb level for this beer? Also does anyone have any good references for beer style carb levels? I've heard their included in beersmith but I can't find anything. Thanks for the help.

Anyone used one of these? And how would they work for brewing? It mentions brewing and has is adjustable. Grinder

I've brewed a Belgian Golden Strong Ale a few months ago and I'm ready to bottle it. The recommended carb level for the recipe was 4 volumes. I'm currently using Sierra Nevada bottles to put all my beer in. I've only carbed up to about 2.5 volumes in these bottles. Will they hold the...
