I have been trying to figure out which would be better for a blue moon clone. There are several clones on here but they are split with the type of grain they use being either A. about 40% flaked wheat or B. about 50% white wheat malt. Blue Moon's website says "we use pale malt (2-row), white wheat, and oats. What do you think would be the best?
 
If you want to brew it like they do, then get 2-row, white wheat and oats.

I've brewed the Blue Balls clone that can be found here and it's turned out great. Can't say that it's a exact clone, but very good IMO.
 
There are plenty of answers if you do a search. A HBT member used to work for Sandlot Brewery (which made Blue Moon before Coors) and he posts the basic recipe here.

There are other recipes here and here. The first one looks a little closer to what Wayne1 describes in his post.
