Rogue Dead Guy Ale (5A) - MINI MASH Homebrew Ingredient Kit

Three weeks in the bottle wasn't quite enough for this one. A couple of extra weeks will let everything blend and smooth out for a truly remarkable clone. My best "copy" effort to date. The recipe for this one is spot on. If you're a Rogue fan like me, I highly recommend it.

This is a pretty close clone. I did a single pitch (I might recommend double pitching...or using a starter. I hit my FG but it was a fairly high SG so you might want to be safe rather than sorry), kept it 11 days in the primary, 4 in the secondary and then force carbonated. I have been sampling a glass or two every night since then, and now after a week and a half it is really getting remarkably good. If you were a more patient man than I, bottling and aging for a few months would be ideal. Otherwise, it's very good kegged and drank!

Turned out very good split the kit with someone else this did not last long at all. Very good one recommend.

I made a mini-mash version of this with a double pitch of Wyeast and the 1% alcohol boost. 1 week in primary and another week in secondary before bottling. I don't know if it's the alcohol boost or I did something wrong, but it does not taste like RDG. However, this beer came out excellent! This is one of the best beers I've ever made. My friends all love it! I'm ordering this kit again now!

I compared this clone next to the real thing and it's almost dead on. Great clone!
