Any feedback on a Mojo clone yet?
No, but the revival of this thread has inspired me to try my hand at a clone approximation. I'm drinking some Mojo now...wait, my glass is empty...
Okay, I'm drinking some now, and I did a comparison with a lower ABV Centennial Pale Ale that I had brewed with a simple grain bill of 9lbs. 2-row & 1lb. Caramel 20. Mojo was just barely a hair deeper in color than my APA, which I think will be made up by the extra base-grain in the stronger IPA. Also, to me the Amarillo comes through a lot more strongly than the Centennial in Mojo, so I'm going to emphasize that. Anyway, here's the recipe I plan to try:

Not sure how soon I can get around to actually brewing it, so feedback still welcome (especially if you've tried a different recipe already!). I'll either do US-05 or Wyeast Pacman for a yeast, unless someone else has a better recommendation.
