Kona Pale Ale clone???

[Pirate Ale]

Anyone? Buehler?

Seriously, does anyone have a recipe to clone Kona? AG, PM or Extract.

Did a quick google and found nothing, but you can get a lot of information from Kona themselves @ konabrewingco.com:

38 IBUs
ABV 5.9
14 Plato ~ 1.057OG
2-row pale malt, munich, honey malt,
Hops - Galena, Cascade, Mt. Hood.

Use this along with the general guidelines for a pale ale and you'll probably get close, after the first batch, you can adjust as you think it needs it be.

What is the conversion calculation from Plato to Gravity?

Cool! The info I posted above comes from the website directly, I would hope it's accurate.

What is the conversion calculation from Plato to Gravity?

I think the formula is:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif] {Plato/(258.6-([Plato/258.2]*227.1)}+1 = Specific gravity

[/FONT]as per BYO.com, but you can use this website calculator for a quick reference, or use beersmith/promash to do the conversion.
