i don't know of a clone recipe, but Jinx is a pretty straight-forward scottish ale with a touch of peat smoked malt in it.

Forgive my ignorance...but what is peat smoked malt? What kind of flavor/color does it give? What kinds of beers generally use it?

Thanks, as always.

BREW ON:mug:
 
what is it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat

what is tastes like: scotch whisky. the barley used to make scotch is smoked with peat.

what kinds of beers use it: scottish ales, mainly. it's potent stuff, so a little dab'll do ya.. like an oz or two in a 5 gallon batch.
 
I've gotta say, I'm having one of these right now and I guess it's just not my bag...pretty boring beer IMO. But then again, people say that about Hefe's and I love them!

I'd say any mild scottish/brown ale, lightly hopped around 20 IBU, with around 2oz of peated malt would be close.

I'm going to try to kill this sixer during the NCSU v UMD game and replace the fridge space with a stout.

I like Jinx a lot. Honestly it is a weak Scottish Ale--but very drinkable. I could drink it all day.

Pretty surprising coming from the hophead I know you are. It might be the peated malt that puts me off, I generally don't care for it (or Scotch, for that matter).
