Karl Strauss Wreck Alley Extract Clone

IJesusChrist said:

YES! I know! It won't be the same, but can someone help me modify this recipe for extract brewing?

70% 2row
4.5% C60
4.5% C80
2.5% Chocolate malt
2.5 Roasted barley
2.5% debittered black malt
5.7% rolled oats

Yeast WLP001

Mash temp high
finish gravity is about 5P
OG 21P
Hop variety does not matter much first and last additions 25 IBU total
Dry hop with equal amounts of light roast whole coffee beans and coconibs for about 2 days before kegging.

--> I will be doing a 5 gallon batch. If you'd rather tell me HOW to convert it, rather than what the final conversion would be, I'll gladly accept that as well.

I loved this beer so much - its the perfect beer

I left San Diego last year, and I only have one bottle of their Peanut Butter Cup Porter left and no Wreck Alley. I only have the capability of doing extract brewing, and the possibility of brewing something similar without a lot of trial and error would be great.

Actually I just looked at the date of the original post. lol I suppose there won't be much happening here.

Are you brewing an extract version or cloning an extract version? I'm confused.

If you are doing AG, I'd up the roasted barley a little or maybe a lot. I'd use 1lb and reduce the black malt a little.

I agree that beer is great. It was first brewed about 2 miles from my house at the Karl 4S Ranch location. Love me a tulip glass of this goodness.

I converted the recipe to extract using beer smith today. I'll pm the extract recipe to you when I get home if you'd like.
