Mill the grains and mash at 154°F (68°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle with first-wort hops. Sparge and top up as necessary to obtain about 6.5 gallons (25 liters)—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at flameout. Whirlpool for 15 minutes, then rest 10 minutes. Chill to 66°F (19°C), aerate well, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 68°F (20°C) for 2–3 weeks or until terminal gravity is reached. Add dry hops. After 3 days, cold-crash, package, and carbonate.

Notes: Clone of New Belgium Fat Tire. They're a fantastic brewery, and Fat Tire is an excellent crowd pleaser that's easy to drink and easy to like.

There's a lot of debate about their "house" strain of yeast, which they're unsurprisingly secretive about. I've seen suggestions for Wyeast 1792 (an old limited release that was supposedly Fat Tire's strain), WLP001/Wyeast 1056 American Ale (an obvious go-to), a mix of that and Chimay, Wyeast 1272 American Ale II, Nottingham (used in some kits), Wyeast 3655-PC Belgian Schelde Ale (sub WLP515), or Wyeast 1746-PC Pacman (sub Imperial A18 Joystick). I'm trying the Pacman as another homebrewer reported success with it. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/heavily-researched-fat-tire-clone-grain-bill-hop-schedule-what-yeast.167754/

From an interview with a former head brewer at New Belgium: "When trying to emulate Fat Tire Amber Ale, Bouckaert advises that you pay particular attention to the malt bill and the aging process. 'We have a malt character that asks for a lot of light-colored malts,' he says. 'Specialty, Munich and light caramel malts comprise up to 30 percent. For the signature toasted biscuit flavor of this brown-amber beer, add from 5 to 10 percent of malts with a nutty character.' For hops, he recommends shooting for 16 IBUs with a subtle late addition of aroma or dry hops. 'Don't use Cascade or other overpowering hops,' Bouckaert adds." That said, their website lists it as 22 IBUs.

Notes: - 1 to 1.5 lb air-popped popcorn in the mash.

- Air pop the popcorn and add to the milled malt just before mashing. (1 lb of popcorn is about 2 cups unpopped kernels). Popcorn will soak up the water about the same amount as milled grain does and sink. I stir once during the step mash.

- Add the light honey at flame out. Do not boil honey or you will loose the honey flavor, (orange blossom, light clover etc). I use raw clover but any will work.

- Aim for low IBUs, 10-15 at most, no more or it will overshadow the honey.

- Use very low mineral water, I start with distilled.

-Do not do a protein rest, it destroys the head on this beer! A hochkurz mash schedule or simple infusion mash @ 150 degrees is fine.

- Use a high attenuating yeast, Rocky mountain, Diamond, Copenhagen, 34/70. You dont want any fruity tastes from the yeast.

- Most definitely improves with lagering; 6-8 weeks. The light honey taste will start to become noticeable. If you can keep out of it while it lagers its a great beer.

*Named after my dog Popcorn, who was my quality control guy on brew day. He vigilantly watched for anything that fell on the floor and got a bowl of spent grain at the end of the mash. I made dog cookies out of the remaining adding either pumpkin or peanut butter. PS he absolutely hated popcorn, wouldnt touch it, go figure...He passed 03/29/22 and is greatly missed.

Notes: Steep grains in 3 qt tap H2O. at 160/150 (actually ran temp up to 170 on accident according to thermometer, though this candy thermo appears to register 10F high).

Boil size app 2.25 gallons, ought to be 2.4 per recipe (need bigger kettle), added DME near boiling point. Accidentally tossed in some of the flavoring hops at 60 minutes, not off to the best start.

Added flavoring hops and Irish moss and extract at 15 minutes.

Aroma hops as the pot was put into iced sink. Pitched the malt "tea" directly into the primary, did not add to boil as suggested in recipe - would probably have overflowed.

Pitched yeast at about 78F, put in Anny's room.

OG 1.044

Removed from Anny's room following day, put next to wall heater, maintained about 70F, rotating bucket. Kept in primary 4 days, racked to secondary, moved to tool room, app 65F.

Dry hopped in a cheesecloth dangling from the airlock, for two days, removed sack.

Bottled on April 24. Wort is amazing. Unfortunately, only 4.5 gallons, or 26 bottles.
