A clone of this recipe was in a recent issue of byo...maybe 6 months ago.

Yeah I read that issue. I'd like to brew both and do a side by side with them and the original. I created my recipe with knowledge of Switchback using 5 different malts plus saaz, vanguard and simcoe, also using their house yeast strain. I tweaked the amounts to match the OG, IBUs and SRM of the original. Will post the results. Cheers! Worse that happens is I have plenty of beer to drink.

How did your clone of Switchback turn out?
