I had some brew in Darwin and Perth while in the Navy that was awesome but I haven't been able to find it outside of down-under. Would love a clone recipe for this. Hell, I go for best guess. Thanks!

you navy girls never cease to amze me.....the worst beer ever brewed in oz


anyhow

most Ozzie beers have just the 1 hop, Pride of Ringwood, bittering only 20-23 IBU

the grain is 2 row pale, OG would be about 1045 FG 1010-1008

the thing that makes Carlton Cold Special is all that cane sugar, arounf 40% of fermentables

OMG, didn't realize it was that bad at the time. Maybe it was all the aussie women that were distracting me. However, I did enjoy the shit in grandure while I was there. Let me tell a short story.

My first time in Oz was in Darwin. The first bar I went into after a while at sea was right off the pier. I walked in and asked for a bud since I really get a kick out of anyone telling me that I should pay more because Bud is an "import". The bartender told me that the didn't carry Bud and that if I wanted it "there's a water fountain right around the way". He gave me a Carlton Cold on the house and I loved it. Maybe it's been a few years, but I did like it better than VB, MB, and Tooeys ( I think thats the spelling).

Thank you, and I appreciate the input recipe idea's though, if I brew it and it suck's, well, you told me so.

Chooch

no....if you brew it and it sux....you nailed the recipe

If it just sucks then its just like Oz.

Hey I thought that my beloved VB is the worst beer in OZ.
