Then, put 10 gallons of ale...and a cock into two quarts of sack, and put to it five pounds of raisins of the sun – stoned; some blades of mace, and a few cloves.

If you don’t already know, CanYouBrewIt is homebrew white wizard Jamil Zanisheff’s podcast show on the Brewing Network that seeks to clone commercial brews. No one is more qualified to suss the nuances of seemingly impenetrable commercial beer, intuit what makes said beer so rad and reverse engineer the recipes. His palate is some psychic glory for shizz. He is joined in this endeavour by homebrewer extraodinaire, “Tasty” Mike McDole - recipe craftsman of the highest order and the single best homebrewer I’ve ever met. Check it…
Big ups to the folks at homebrewtalk.com for putting together a database of all the CanYouBrewIt clone recipes.
My next batch of brew (the first cauldron bubble on our next double brew day coming up next week) will be a clone of Terrapin Rye Pale Ale. I’ve had Tasty’s version of this and its so frikkin’ yummy I’ve been chomping at the foam obsessing about doing my own version.
