I got the base clone recipe from BYO. Problem was that their clone recipe called for brewing two separate beers and then blending them in the same tradition as NewCastle is actually brewed. To make things more complicated, it called for a 3 gallons of one of the beers and two gallons of the other, so simply mixing the ingredient lists and dividing in half wasnt an option.aekdbbop said:where did you find this clone recipe? NC is my favorite beer of all time.. was it a pretty close comparison?
BierMuncher said:All in all, a pretty darn good brown ale and at 4.7%, just right for a few pints without remorse.
Ill get the recipe posted soon.
True. My only remorse is when the alcohol kicks my @ss before I've had enough to quench my thirst. No headache hangovers for me yet. Though I could swear that every now and again I wake up with a buzz is that so wrong?Evan! said:...Oh, and um, BM, dude...if you ever have "remorse" after drinking homebrew, then something is wrong. Remorse is different than a hangover...
TheJadedDog said:Dude Muncher, you prove your commitment to the obsession on a daily basis.
Pretty close. Mines a bitmore "raosty" as it's only a few weeks old. The commercial has a nice "plum" flavor that isn't quite present yet. The WHitbred yeast definitely gave it some fruit tones, but I think everything needs to meld for a while.orfy said:Bastard....
I need to go buy some NCBA NOW!!!!
and I'll have to brew again soon.
Job well done BM......
How close is the taste.
Wat ya tryna sayThe untrained palate probably wouldn't know the difference.
I'm saying you and the present company would DEFINITELY know the difference.orfy said:Wat ya tryna say
Are you serving it chilled? 40°F ?
I'm honored.orfy said:<41°F
It's not a real ale but It's my port in a storm. Most places sell it even if there is nothing decent on offer and I like it. It's quite strong so If I'm on a night out 4 iss good for a buzz, more and I'm over the edge.
They have a star on them that turns blue under 41°f so you know they are cool. (debatable accuracy)
I went and bought one and drank it in honour of your clone.
