Has anyone brewed a Ale Thats close to Sam Adams Boston Lager?

[Tommy1858]

I dont have a cold enough place to do a Lager so can i do an Ale thats close?any recipes? Thoughts? I cant be the only person who likes Sam's .Im fermenting in a closet at about 68 degrees now.

I am a big sam fan and i found a recipie in a book called clone brews they have a clone of the boston lagar it taste close to the real thing would be even closer with the right yeast and cold ferment.

You can look on here, or elsewhere and find a clone (like the one mentioned above even) and rather than a lager yeast use a neutral ale yeast such as nottingham, us-o5 or West coast ale yeast, or pacman even and ferment it as cool as you can, and you'll get close.

Hey, look at the similar thread box below, there appears to be a few clone recipes for it right here. VVVVVVVVVV
