Does anyone know of a vendor that sells good, close to the original 3 Floyds clone extract kits? I am new to home brewing so I would like to make a 5 gallon batch from an extract kit if possible. Alpha King, Gumball Head and Zombie Dust are the three that I am most interested in.

These recipes seem to be considered spot on, or at least very close.

Brewed this one over the part 4 weeks. I only did a 2.5 gal keg so I cut everything in half. Worked great! Tastes like the real deal. Would like to compare to a bottle for the real one. Used the 1968. Next Time, would not use Munich Grains and go with Munich DME to be safe. Also might try some irish moss to assist in clarification.

Steep the grains at in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes. It is assuming a 5 gallon batch, 3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning. If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra oz at 60minutes.
