New Holland Cabin Fever Clone Request

Its been a while since I had one, but I remember really enjoying it last winter. Does anyone have a clone recipe that I could use to base my own brown ale off of?

I second this. I love this stuff..

Im thinking about trying molasses to get that creaminess and body, anyone have this beer that could help give me some guidance?

Decided to give it a shot myself. This is the first time trying to clone a beer from scratch and would love some feedback from someone that has more experience and has had the original.

30 gallon AG Recipe

40# 2 row - 69%
6# flaked oats - 10%
5# victory - 9%

2oz Columbus at 60min

Target OG - 1.053 at 80% efficiency (we have been hitting 84% lately)

Nobody? Do I suck? lol Anyone have this beer before or have any input on my recipe?

How did your clone turn out?

I had this beer for the first time and would love a recipe.

Thanks

It turned out maltier, like an English Brown, than I wanted. I also think we have some issues somewhere in our process. I would expect with this much cara and flaked oat to have a beer with a heavy mouth feel and thick head. This turned out thinner bodied and the head was larger bubbles that dissipate quickly, almost no lacing. This was our fist time doing a double boil in 1 20g blichman pot and a keggle so it was a little experimentation. We only ended up with 27g in the fermentors.

Measured OG 1.060
Measured FG 1.010

Any ideas on what caused my weak head?

Thanks for the update. Sorry you weren't happy with the end result.

I'm fairly new so not much help but appreciate learning.

Thanks again.

We mashed at 155 and had a nice slow lauter. Anyone have input into what could have caused this thin head?

btw, we use basically the same process on other beers like our RIS and its has great thick brownish head.

have liked most of what New Holland brews, except for the Dragon's Milk Oak Stout, but I will chalk that up to my not being used to beers like that. just like it took me a while to get used to real beer with flavor after drinking BMC all my life.

what is there about Michigan that makes some dang tasty IPAs? NH's Mad (& Imperial) Hatter, Founders' Centennial and Bell's Two Hearted.

Lake Michigan water?

Not sure, the water is great imo, works well for most breweries around here. Really, I dont care for those IPAs much and find myself enjoying west coast stuff more, besides 3 Floyds.
