Hi!
I had this week a Brewdog Liberting Ale... whhhhoooowwww what a beer!
I'm searching to clone it. I've see on Brewdog website that it's:
ABV:7.2%
OG:1069
IBU's:65
Malts:Maris Otter, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Dark Crystal Malt, Carafa
Hops:Simcoe
Twist:A single hop black ale; loaded with Simcoe.
Anyone had a clone version, which yeast?
Thx a lot for your feedbacks.
Hoppy regards!

I've not tried to clone this particular ale, but the Brewdog hop aroma is something I've been trying to figure out how they do it? They must do several rounds of dry-hopping, because in my last 29- liter IPA batch I dry-hopped with 80 grams of pellets for a week, and it didn't come even close to these commercial champions.
Carafa I think is what gives it most of the dark colour, it comes in three varieties I-III. Somewhere I read to use number 2 for black ales? Maybe the more experienced guys here will have other ideas how to go with this recipe, but I would just enter your equipment particulars, OG and IBU's into the BIABicus, and guestimate the malt percentages if you can't find any more info on the internet, and go from there, I bet you'll end up with something very drinkable and then you'll have starting point from where to fine tune it.

Maybe:
Pale Ale 75%
Caramalt 7,5%
Munich 7,5%
Dark Crystal 5% (not sure if this just refers to something like Crystal 150 EBC)
Carafa II (or III) 5%
Then calculate the hop additions to fit the IBUs,adding most of the hops late,something like 60,20,15,10,5 and 0 minutes. Plus dry-hop at least twice for one week.
