Best Clone Beer You Have Made?

[Bragdy Mike]

So would I. It's not clear from this account whether the "background" yeast is only present in the culture for the stout are whether it's part of the house strain. But either way, it's not something I would want to ingest.

Does anyone have a good recipe for White Rat?

The brewery description isn't far from a recipe!

Hoppy Pale Ale​

4.0% vol.
White Rat
This very pale, hoppy ale is made from low colour malt. A combination of Cascade, Columbus and Amarillo hops produce an intensely aromatic and resinous finish. Please note our 12x500ml bottles are available for delivery only.

Unfoortunately I've never tasted it, but it looks very much like Oakham's Bishop's Farewell with some additional hops.

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER
The Original Wychwood Fiddlers Elbow?
It was one of my favourites at the time.
Any brewing notes would be gratefullly recieved.

 

[Bragdy Mike]

Great. Thanks
I’ll work on a recipe. Anyone have a yeast to recommend?

The best clone I’ve made was the Pliny The Elder brew a couple of years ago. I only did 15L and the bill for the hops alone was over £30.
I regretted not having more when the keg kicked.

This is my recipe for White Rat 10L
1800g Golden Promise
100g Pale Crystal
100g Torrified Wheat

7g Columbus @60mins
10g Cascade @ 0mins
10g Amarilo @ 0mins

I have used CLM House or Midland both tasted good

I’m fortunate as the brewery is close to where I live each time I visit the pub attached there’s always something new to try

Thanks Fire. Looks good-I’ll scale up to 20 litres and give it a go. What yeast do you use?

My best clones have been
Harvey's West Sussex Best
Wye Valley Butty Bach

The Harvey's has become my go to bitter now. My recipe is pretty similar to @Appleton Brews. I used dark crystal (235 EBC) in mine. I also use Ringwood Ale yeast if I can get it.
