Anybody try brewing a Sam Summer clone with a grains of paradise substitute?
What's a suitable substitute, or is there one?

Or even, where can I get this stuff if my Local Brew Shop doesn't carry it?

Did anybody try this recipe to any measure of success?

I can't imagine why anybody would want to clone this beer, bought a six pack the other day and I cannot stand it.

Send it here I'd happily take it off your hands! lol Its one of my fav beers.

Sam Adams inspired me to create my own summer ale. I used a malt extract from my LHBS and a mild hop - Hallertau? I added an entire lemon zested with a cheese grader. The result is pretty nice. It's got a nice citrus / lemon initial smell / taste and a real mild mouth feel but the finish seems a little dry or soapy. It leaves your mouth dry and kind of chalky. I'm wondering if this is because I have too much lemon zest or perhaps I had another problem. It's been bottled for only a week now so maybe it will change over time. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks -
Paddy

I havent tried it myself but it seems to have good reviews.

I've made this several times with great results. Its cleaner and tastes better then real Sam's Summer (especially this years horrible recipe!). If you don't have 1272 (or any of the yeast listed) I've used American Wit and 1056 each once, and it still came out great.
