I love this beer and happen to have a few stored away in my cellar I wanted to see if I could get a clone as close as possible. I tasted mine next to the real thing and find them very close. Mine just needed a little stronger Hop flavor. I put my Flavor hops in the last 10 minutes of boil, I was thinking either adding .25 oz flavor hops in the boil to increase the flavor, or leave it alone and boiling for an additional 5 minutes to extract more flavor. Whats your opinion?
