Just in case anyone was interested there is actually a commercial clone available at austinhomebrew.com. I tried it once, it was pretty close.

I'm brewing this one today and my buddy is brewing it tomorrow. I'm skipping the starter since I woke up late My buddy is doing a starter so we'll see how they compare head to head. Jamil's recipe comes out perfect in promash. We left out the black patent malt since LA B3 was out, also didn't have crystal 75 so we went with 60 and a touch of 120 for fun. Mashing at 155F right now, missed by one degree and couldn't be bothered to add some more water. Smells awesome.

The best part of this brew session is I've piped over filtered water to the brewery side of the garage this morning, just open the tap and fill the HLT, no more lugging 5g of water from the sink a bunch of times. Nice.

Cheers!

I just threw a few bottles from my batch of this recipe in the fridge for the session tonight. I recently had some Moose Drool (cans!) and I think my recipe came pretty damn close in terms of flavor profile, the only real difference I can pick up is that my version is just a tad bit roastier and my OG was a little bit high. Makes for an excellent brown ale!

I started to brew this clone... then quickly decided to make it bigger and hoppier. I just kegged it the other day so I'll see how it turns out when we tap it this weekend (while brewing).
