Fred Hair of the Dog Recipe Help.

[Razorbrew]

A good friend of mine had the opportunity to drink Fred and Fred of the Wood while in Portland. No chance of getting that here.

We would like to brew a clone. I have had a hard time finding a recipe but did come across this on another site. Give me your feedback. If you have a better recipe by all means post it here.

Thanks, Andy

Razor,

That recipe will get you somewhere in the ballpark of Fred. You might try e-mailing Alan at HotD and asking his opinion of your recipe. He is usually very good about helping homebrewers and chances are he was the original source.

Cheers!
Kevin

Did you get anywhere with this recipe? I tried Fred for the first time several months ago, but it's no longer available here so I'd love to brew it myself.

Any help appreciated.
