Great Lakes Brewery's Lake Erie Monster that is!
With a 5 gallon better bottle sitting around empty, I gave it a shot and did my first all grain batch...a 4 gallon clone of LEM.
Checking the gravity today, the sample I took was almost half a cup. So I had one Monster left and invited a neighbor over to try it side by side and he even said its almost right on. Without the carbonation you didn't get the same mouth feel as the original, but the taste was right there..a few more days then its time to bottle.
