Clonebrew: Sierra Nevada

[Stevorino]

I'm thinking about doing this recipe as my first All-Grain Batch on Sunday.

Any suggestions or experiences w/ this brew? I'd love to hear how others' Sierra Nevada Clones have turned out!

try this one out (this is from my notes, its been over a year since i have tried this recipe but it tasted good last i recall

Grain
8lbs 2 row
3/4 lbs crystal 60L
1/2 lbs carapils

HOPS
1.5 oz Perle
3 oz Cascade

155* F Starch Conversion

Hop Schedual
1oz Perle 75 Min
1/2 oz Perle 60 Min
10z Cascade 15 Min
1oz Cascade 7 Min.

here are some more notes, i must have been drunk when i wrote all this down LOL I did a single deconcotion to 158*f for over 1+ hour because some guy tried to sell me a water softner during the mashing process, i wanna say about 1 hour and 45 mins.

OG should be 1.052
FG should be 1.010


im sure you could alter it as you see fit, like maybe a 60 min boil lol.

adjust magnum / galena / perle amounts to hit around 46ibu. I've made paritial mash of both but used us-56 both excellent. I make the SNPA all the time but use 1 oz at 1 minute and 1 oz dry hop but I love cascades

Well, SNPA has both Magnum and Perle hops for bittering - with Cascade primarily for flavor & aroma. Comes in around 37IBU, 5.7% ABV. Here's an AG clone, single infusion mashed at 153, batch sparged. It's pretty close too on all the critical data...:
