Tasting Notes
Wonderful, not an exact clone but pretty close.
Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Clone

Efficiency: 75%
Attenuation: 78.9%
Alcohol:7.83%

Ingredients:
7.5 LB Belgian Pils
6 LB Pilsner Malt
.55 LB Belgian Aromatic
.55 Honey Malt
1.1 oz Hallertau Tradition (4.7%) 60 Min
1.5 oz Hallertau Tradition (3.0%) 40 min
.5 oz Tettnanger (3.5%) 15 Min
.5 oz Tettnanger (3.5%) 5 Min
.5 oz Hallertau Tradition (3.0%) Dry Hop
.5 oz Crystal (3.2) Dry Hop

White Labs WLP800 Pilsner Lager
White Labs WLP862 CryHavoc

Water: 90% RO/10% Carbon Filter tap

Mash at 152F for 60 Min. Batch or Fly Sparge. (My Pre Boil Gravity was 1.058)
Boil 90 Minutes adding Hops at times listed. (I would make this a 6 Gallon batch next time to account for Trub Loss)
Pitch WLP862 yeast after cooling and ferment at 63F
After 5 Days Pitch Second yeast starter of WLP800 and set Fermenter to 53-55F until D-rest. Gravity reading at D-rest was 1.025. When final Gravity is reached transfer to secondary and lager for 3 weeks. Add Dry Hop additions and continue lagering for 3 more weeks. Remove hops from secondary if a corny keg or rack to bottling bucket if bottling. When its carbed enjoy! This Beer was quite an experiment but the reward is so worth it.

I’m guessing that your original recipe here is for a 5 gal batch?
