Anyone had Manny's Pale Ale ? A friend of mine is from Seattle and wants a clone for this draft only beer from Georgetown brewing.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone convert this to an extract recipe with specialty malt steeping?

I think I'll brew a batch this weekend. By the way, Manny worked at Mac n Jacks before starting Georgetown Brewering and I understand that he is responsible for creating Mac n Jacks African Amber.
African amber is Mack and Jack's full attemp to replicate Mad River Brewing's Jamacan Red.
Still a great beer, but a funny story about the only beer anyone actually dubs, "Mack and Jack's"
Use the same specialty grains but swap out the Pale malt with 5 lbs 6 oz of Light DME. If you're doing a concentrated boil (3 gallons) up the initial Magnum addition to 3/4 oz.
I don't know if anyone is still following this post. I was working up a recipe last night and had a couple of thoughts to add.
The beer is marketed as unfiltered so it should definately be cloudy, no finings. Their instructions are to store kegs upside down to keep the sediment from sticking to the bottom and the distributor has advised at least one bar owner to flip a half full keg to "refresh", resuspending the solids that have settled out.
I remember reading or hearing once that Manny significantly overpitches the yeast, so a big starter is in order.
Also, I am pretty sure it is dry hopped. A new keg has a lot of fresh hop flavor.
Pilsner LME is the lightest of the LMEs, so all your color and character comes from the specialty grain just like when you are brewing with all grain. If you are an extract with grains brewer you should make every beer with Pilsner LME as the base, imo.
