Can you please clarify your volumes on this one? It looks like a 5.5 gallon batch, but you have a 2.82 gal boil size and a 2.6 gal volume post boil.
 
I made this one last year and it turned out great. In fact I just brewed 10 gal this week. It is fermenting now.

I really like this beer. It is clean and crisp with good flavor. I'd recommend it!
 
I'm reviving this thread in the hopes that someone has either brewed the above recipe or found another clone recipe.

Looking at Kona's website, they only list 2 row for malt. Maybe the info wasn't available at the time of the original post. Also the ibu's on website are 21, not the 14 listed above.

It's been a few months since I've had Longboard lager but I do really enjoy it and was hoping to brew something at least close to it.
