New Belgium's Fat Tire clone? Brewing on 20 July 2013 with a friend trying to get into brewing. Not my particular style but I think it's close enough....we'll see.

Per New Belgium's website:

ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 18.5
Hops: Willamette, Goldings, Target
Malts: Pale, C-80, Munich, Victory

My guess:

ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 17.2 (Under the advertised IBU but I think it works)
SRM: 10.5
Mash 154 Degrees
13.5 Gallons pre boil
12.5 Gallons post boil
11 Gallons Transfer (Probably more like 11.75 Gallons)
75 Minute Boil

Pale Malt - 16.5 Pounds (79%)
Munich 20L Malt - 2 Pounds (9.6%)
Victory Malt - 1.33 Pounds (6.6%)
Caramel 80L Malt - 1 Pound (4.8%)

Willamete - 1.2 Ounces (60 Minutes)
Target - .6 Ounce (30 Minutes)
Goldings - 1 Ounce (10 Minutes)

Wyeast 1056 maybe Safale - US 05
Ferment at 64 Degrees 2 weeks
Secondary for 1.5 months
 
Right on Sammy, I have seen a few on here but none reference the goodies listed on New Belgium's website. Some are close but others aren't. Not to say they will give back a bad beer, I am just trying to color inside the lines for once.
