The closest clone I have ever made / Jai Alai

Brewing Processes
1

After tweaking this on and off this year, this is darn near spot on. If you like Jai Alai and would like to brew it, feel confident, I have absorbed all the trial and error!  The final tweak (advised by one of their brewers at Oscar Blues) was a 2:1 sulfate to chloride ratio. I also dry hopped for six days in the mid 50s. First time I didnt get a vegetal flavor too.

Chas,

This looks very good.  I’d like to brew it but have a question about the malt bill. Did you use all US malts? Which brand?

I love brewing good clone recipes. Thank you so much for sharing the results of your hard work and sparing us the trial and error.

Hey, so sorry for the delay!

I used all American malts. I have used Canadian 2 row before. Both work great.

I have a few other dialed in IPA recipes if interested. Sculpin, Tropicalia, Jade
