I am absolutely LOVING this beer (even my non beer drinkning wife really likes it) so I figured it was time to try a clone. Couldnt find one out there already so i decided to formulate one myself.
I took the stats from their site and started to formulate a recipe based on that.
http://www.karlstrauss.com/beer/mosaic.html
Here is what i have for V1 and its close to the spec their website list... HOWEVER, unless they forgot to list a grain on the website, there is NO WAY this is going to be an SRM of 11. to get even close to an 11 with only the 3 malts listed (pale, white wheat, and c10) I would need about a 50% c10 to keep abv in check with 5.5%. And there is just no way thats accurate.
I sent an email to them, and will post some feedback when / if i get it from them, but want get some feedback from the brilliant minds here on the site as well.
Here is what i have so far:
Planning on brewing in a few days and will report back with the results. In the mean time, please let me know if anyone has suggestions. THanks!!
