Hard to find recipes

Where do you guys go when you can't find a recipe for a beer here? I have about 116 beers to track down recipe's for, none of which are mainstream (at least not in the US) and I'm striking out on the vast majority of them.

List them. I bet you get results for about 25% of them almost immediately with no further effort. The rest will come with time and Googling.

Alright. I'm working off this list. Ignore the US and the obvious like Guiness and Heinekin.

I'm trying to find a good AG recipe for Dechutes Inversion IPA. I know they have what ingredients their using on their website, but I need a good working recipe.

A lot of those are generic mass market lagers.
Duvel is fairly straightforward
Steigl is a niceish Helles
Baltika is an ok Baltic Porter
Staropramen is a classic BoPils
Zywiec is another ok pils

Really, most of those are just generic lagers, BYO's clone collection has a number of them and Beer Captured though not all that accurate sometimes has quite a few.

They don't need to be exact, just true to the region. The lists I have found also seem to be simply the opinion of the writer and probably not as accurate as they should be. The premise is to offer my customers the "around the world in 180 days" challenge. The idea is to brew a clone, or at least a very similar beer, of a beer from each region. If it is a tough taste, hard to drink that's honestly even better.

Its cool they do that because some brewers refuse to release any details. You should just take the ingredients and use software like brewsmith to work out how to brew it.

90% of the listed beers are going to be remarkably similar lagers. I only mentioned the beers I could identify as being of a different style. My recommendation would be to do a version of each of the accepted BJCP styles. If you have a copy of Brewing Classic Styles, that would be a good starting point.

Thanks for the tip. If they are all pretty much the same (I have 0 experience with them, but you guys obviously know) then i wouldn't want them. The whole point is diversity.

do you have a copy of clone brews? Duval, Pilsener of El Salvador, Cervasa Imperial, zywiec are in there.

I don't think I do, but I bought so many books last year that are just sitting on shelves and in boxes. I'll have to take a look.

SWMBO says she bought me this and is angry i don't remember. Time to dig through some stuff!

HI, did you find the cuban " cristal" clone??

im from cuba, i used to drink Hatuey before, check the link.

http://www.beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=5647

Lapolvora - check the book "Beer Captured" for the Cristal clone.

If anyone has the Piton (St. Lucia) or Stella (Egypt) i'd love to have them - sentimental reasons.

AHS has a 33 Export clone.
AHS has not yet sold 33 Export clone.

Hi, would you mind posting the recipe?

thanks in advance

Are you writing a book?

Never mind

Resurrecting an ancient thread - I'm new to brewing, and already planning on my first grain mash. Would love to try to clone something from a previous life - in this case "julbrew".

This is (was - as they shut down and now brew from neighboring Senegal with a different recipe), a very light and refreshing lager. The master brewer (I think German... Maus I seem to recall), has long since moved on from this brewery as well. Does anyone happen to have a similar recipe?
