Brooklyn Pennant Ale Proofread

Post #1 made 11 years ago

Hi all,

So I have really been getting a kick out of this beer lately, and wanted to give it a go. The only clone attempt I can find out there is on byo. https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/2333 ... e-55-clone

Looking at the brooklyn website, they say the beer has Hallertauer Perle, Willamette, Fuggle and Cascade. The byo recipe has only Willamette and EKG.

Two questions; Could anyone help me to make this recipe a little closer to Brooklyns beer? http://brooklynbrewery.com/brooklyn-bee ... ennant-ale I'm not looking for spot on, just something that is reminiscent of the Pennant Ale and tasty. Second, is the byo recipe even a good recipe to start with? I already realize it has some flaws in it, such as no VAW, not sure if IBUs are tinseth.

If this is not a good recipe to start with and tweak, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

JollyBombadil,

I am no expert with recipes. So take what I say with a grain of salt. I try to trust a recipe the first time. I figure that the brewer tried many times to get the clone close and he or she is proud of what they have done? If however they are way off? I will go on from there on my own. But like I said, I try to replicate what they have done first. Not having heard of or much less tried the beer I am at a loss anyway as to say they hit the mark or not!

Trust your fellow brewer and try it first. Even if they are off a bit. I bet you will have a fine beer none the less!
tap 1 Raspberry wine
tap 2 Bourbon Barrel Porter
tap 3 Czech Pilsner
tap 4 Triple IPA 11% ABV
