I'm trying to clone Kona's Lavaman Red Ale, all grain. It's only available as a draft beer in Hawaii, and I've never had it, but a friend is dying to have it again, but we live in Texas!
So, this is from their site, it's quite a bit of info, but looking to get close, any help is appreciated...
"Lavaman Red Ale is a malty, red ale with strong caramel notes and a subtle chocolate malt flavor. The pronounced maltiness is balanced by the delicate blend of Pacific Northwest hops resulting in a smooth, full-bodied beer.
Bitterness: 30 IBU
Alcohol by Volume: 5.6%
Original Gravity: 13.5 P
Malts: Pale (Premium 2-row), Munich, Honey, Caramel, Chocolate
Hops: Cascade, Mt. Hood, Hallertau"
