My buddy from the east coast is missing one of his favorite beers from home. Does anyone know a decent clone recipe for Ying Ling? It would be a dream come true for a coast dude stuck in the middle of Missouri.

klcramer said:so what adjustment do you suggest?
SteveM said:No recipe - but back east we spell it "Yeungling's!" Good luck with hunting down a nice clone - they make a heck of a beer.
