Notes

Recipe based on the Jamil Show Can You Brew It? episode featuring Dave Chichura from Oskar Blues and Nathan Smith's clone attempt. The original recipe is here: http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15591. The judges determined that the recipe was very close, but not identical. I am following their suggestions to scale back the IBU's and use a big pitch of yeast. The original recipe calls for Carastan, which my LBS does not carry, so I am substituting Crystal 40L (the additional color is offset by the fact that the recipe actually calls for Crystal 45L). The recipe also calls for Northern Brewer as bittering hop, but I am substituting Chinook since I have a lot of it. I also refactored for my usual 70% efficiency and smaller batch size, and to achieve target numbers using slightly different ingredients. The brewer suggests a mash temp of 152, but I will shoot for 148-150 to try to hit the stated target final gravity of 1.014. After my first attempt, I found the malt profile to be spot-on, but a little lacking in hop aroma and flavor, so I am doubling the dry-hops to 3oz for my next attempt.
