I'm not looking for an exact Dead Guy clone (I'd brew Yooper's recipe without hesitation if I were--it is the basis for this recipe), but something similar: a traditional bock brewed at the low end of ale temps with a great ale yeast. My next brew will be Centennial Blonde with Pacman, so I'm planning to pitch on that cake when it's done.
Please take a look:

I have the LME in there right now since I'm grain limited to ~9lbs with my current setup. My goal is a rich, malty bock at the low end of the style with a red, red color. I'm very open to suggestions on the hops, both quantity and variety...I don't think I'm through futzing with them yet (I'll probably tweak the IBUs down a tad). Thoughts?
