I'm planning on brewing three batches of beer this weekend, a 5gal PM IPA, a three gal AG foreign extra stout, and to keep it simple for the third batch, my wife and I decided to try the SNPA clone in the BYO 250 clone issue. We both love APA's and thought the recipe looks solid. I know alotta people brew this recipe and I'm just wondering what those of you who have think of the beer. :mug:
Thanks for the input.
 
I have tried a version of the SNPA Clone from the brew master and it came damn close. The only thing I would definitely tell you is to use the White Labs 001 Cali ale yeast as I have tried pacific and American with this recipe and the taste just was not right.

The recipe calls for American or California ale. I've always used wyeast, what was different between the 1056 and the 001 in your brews? And did the clone you did use magnums to bitter? The BYO clone does, Midwest Supplies Sierra Pale Ale just uses perle.
 
It called for cascade perle and magnum. I do not know what the difference is as my LHBS never has the California yeast which is why I have always had to substitute. Here is the recipie:

That's pretty much the BYO clone. I'll be doing a PM for this one. And I think I'll go with the 1056, I have that on hand and have had pretty good results with that strain around 68*. I'm not expecting to hit SNPA on the head the first time I brew it, just a good pale ale and that's a solid recipe. My main goal is to have a simple brew day to end a hectic brewing weekend and to have all three primaries full.
 
This recipe posted by ehedge20 is the one I use. It is as good as it gets from my point of view. Use the best/freshest Cascades you can get. I deviate be using leaf Cascades to help my hop strainer do its job. You'll be happy with the result. A couple weeks in primary in the mid-60s, then keg, carb, age at RT for a week, cold crash at 32 for a couple days, rack to a second keg if you care to, serve at 45-50 F - live doesn't get any better.
