and I've come across many recipes, but none of them seem to have done the most basic research: Check the new belgium website for ingredients:
http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detail.aspx?id=7c5b394b-d7b7-486a-ac9a-316256a7b0ee
ABV - 5.2%
IBU - 18.5
Calories -155
Hops - Willamette, Goldings, Target
Malts - Pale, C-80, Munich, Victory
OG - 12.6
TG - 2.2
Not one recipe I found uses the hops and malts shown here. all have the 2-row and crystal, but all vary using munich and biscuit malt and other specialty grains, but none have the victory.
and for hops, they all have willamette, but no clones out there have goldings or target.
Is it possible that no one actually checked the NB website? or is it possible that maybe people have tried the actual ingredients, but have had better luck with some alternate ingredients?
Just curious why not one clone uses the ingredients listed on the website.
