Thanks a lot guys. I'll give this a try! Cheers :mug:

Hands down, my favorite beer is Rogue's Oregon Golden Ale. Has anyone actually tried to clone this beer and had good results? I've searched the forum, but can only find dead guy and some other rogue beers...but no Oregon Golden Ale. I understand that the ingredients are on the side, but I...
