search magic hat on the forum, I made a clone a while back, came out pretty good, I would suggest using maybe 1/2 to 1/4 of the apricot extract that is listed, add it at bottling, and taste, see if you want more flavor. Its been many years since i had #9, but I remember the apricot being very much in the background, I added 2oz ff extract and it was still too apricotty (hah) and had a weird bitterness. I plan on making this again in the fall but using real apricots next time.
Ahh, screw it, here is my recipe from my brewlog
