This is the SNPA Clone recipe that is posted on Northern Brewer's forums. I've brewed it and it looks and tastes exactly like the real thing. It is my new house Ale.

I've seen that recipe before, and I'm always amazed at how much Crystal it has in it. I made a clone with 1/4 lb. crystal 60 and 1/2 lb. crystal 20, and it was pretty much spot on for the level of caramel flavor and the color.

Yeah, my first time making it I got great efficiency and ended up with a much stronger brew. But the taste profile is very close. I may play with the recipe after a few more batches and either lower th 60L or move to 40L. It did came out a little bit darker than I think it should, but I'm always amazed at how dark it looks when I order it on tap at a bar. I just bought a sixer and plan on doing a side by side comparison in a few days. I may take pictures of the two side by side for posterity sake.

Post them if you can! That'd be interesting to see. In my opinion, the combination of crystal and cascade, with a clean yeast like 1056 is a winner that you can scarcely go wrong with.

This a old thread and made a close recipe to this 1/2 lbs. of crystal 45 belgium and flaked barley it came out amazing. 10lbs. Marris Otter and hops were Magnum .8 at 45 min. Perel .8 at 20 min and Cascade 2 oz. at 2 min Very close clone and side by side was tasty treat that this was fresher
