This is an old thread, but did anyone ever figure this out? I also love this beer and would love to give it a try. Thanks
I also love this beer and I have been trying to clone it. I actually just finished kegging attempt number 5. It is tasting good so far, but I will know more once it is carbonated. Although I haven't hit the recipe exactly, each version is very tasty. Here is the recipe I used for my current attempt.
