Notes

This clone is as close as you'll get.

1) Use English Medium Crystal per Yuengling, not U.S. Crystal 60

2) Use WLP830 or same strain to target 77% attenuation, this is in alignment with Yuengling, O.G. should be close to 1.044 with FG of 1.010 which is 77% attenuation and 4.46%. This recipe is slightly higher for no other reason than to fit in BJCP style guidelines.

3) Use 6-row, not 2-row

4) Use corn grits per Yuengling, otherwise use Flaked Corn and adjust.

5) Adjust acidulated malt & salts based on your local water.
