Pete’s Wicked Clone

Description:

I’ve requested a recipe for Pete’s Wicked Ale, but nobody sent one, so I guess I’m going to have to wing it. This recipe is based on the GABF program, which says ” Pete’s has: pale, crystal and chocolate malts, and Chinook and Cascade hops. OG: 14P” (Isn’t that 1.056?)

Pete’s is pretty malty with a low hop bitterness and aroma. I think the malt combination should be ok, as long as I get enough body from the 155F mash temperature.

Ingredients:

• 8-9 pounds, pale malt
• 1 pound, crystal malt
• 1/4 pound, chocolate malt mash at 155F
• 1/2 ounce, Cascade (60 min boil)
• 1/4 ounce, Chinook (60 min boil)
• 1/2 ounce, Cascade (10 min finish)
• Wyeast #1056

Procedure:

Mash malts at 155 F. Add 1/2 ounce Cascade and 1/4 ounce of Chinook for boil. Use 1/2 ounce Cascade to finish.
