Snpa ???

What an i missing???????? I have tried almost every all grain recipe for snpa clone some are close but not quite there!
I can not put my finger on it maybe a fourth hop addition any ideas?

Maybe its your water or a part of your brewing/fermentation process.

Yeah it is easy brew a good beer. It is much harder to reproduce one. The processes are just as important to the final taste. I write exactly what I do for every single brew just in case I make a really good one. I have had so so results with clones. very confusing when there are so many different "clone" recipes for the same beer.

No there is something missing that only the brewmaster of sn knows?

That could be it too. Those Brewmaster's do some interesting stuff to be unique.( priming with different yeast,etc)

Yes i would like that recipe thanks!

If you use a garden hose, be sure to get a drinking safe hose. Otherwise you inadvertently put a lot of phenols into your water and those don't come out with carbon filters. It will give you one of those "can't quite put my finger on it" problems.

If you have brewed the recipe in this thread http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?t=15532 and are dissatisfied, then you have a process or water problem, to be inflammatory. My experience with this recipe has been great, particularly after I paid attention to my water.

Mine turned out well, it's under recipes below my username.

Here is the info on the celebration ale I promised. All I have is the hopping schedule as it was an extract and my LHBS just gave me some specialty grains to add and i am not sure what they were.

5 gallon batch
1 oz each

Milenium 60 min
Cascade 30, 20 and 1 (for 3 oz of cascade total)
Chinook at 5 minutes

It was amazingly good and sampled well compared Celebration from a bottle. I actually preferred mine of SN version. May have to do this again after the Pliney and Bastards are done.

Sorry it took so long my Beersmith is on my laptop and I have not had the chance to fire it up in a while.

I have brewed that recipe (from the northern brewer forum)several times.
it's AWESOME! dead on.
