Notes
Hops - Longhammer uses the "Alchemy Hops". From what I was able to research, it's a mixture of Millenium, Horizon, and Warror. I couldn't get any Millenium or Horizon hops. Since Millenium is a cross-breed of Nugget and Columbus, I subbed those two in. I used Magnum in place of Horizon since I had some on hand. Someone in a HBT thread on Alchemy hops mentioned they detected a hint of Summit - If I make this again, I'm going with 5g (.21 oz) of Summit in place of the Magnum.
How Close Is It?
I've never had a clone come out "spot on", but this was the closest I've come to actually cloning a beer (guess it helps when I, you know, actually hit my numbers). The color and body were nearly identical, but mine was little hazier than the commercial version. The taste and aroma were really, really close. Even going slow and low, I didn't get the kind of attenuation Red Hook gets, so the ABV was lower. The true test was SWMBO: She loves Longhammer. And boy, did she like this. I think she drank most of it.
