I didn't know the Deschutes website had "hints" for homebrewers until recently. I thought I'd try my hand at cloning their Red Chair NWPA. I've only formulated recipes from scratch twice before so please critique!!
From the Descutes website:

I don't currently have Carastan in my system and I'm not sure if my LHBS has it so I replaced it for now with Crystal 30...
Here's what I've got so far:
The ABV on the side of the bottle says 6.2%. The estimated ABV from this recipe is 6.18% with an estimated FG of 1.016.
