My LHBC has put forth a challenge to its members to brew a Smithwick clone. To be judged against each other, and the real deal, in an informal competition at the end of March. I'm up for the task, so this is what I'm planning.
8 lbs Maris Otter
1 lb CaraPils
.375 lb Crystal 60
.25 lb Crystal 120
.12 lb Roasted Barley
1 oz Kent Golding
WLP004 - Irish Ale Yeast
Mash 1.3 U.S. Qts of water per pound of grain @ 154 degrees f.
Sparge with close to 2 U.S. Qts of water per pound of grain @ 178 degrees f.
Ferment at 60-65 degrees F (This will be the hardest part to get right for me as I don't have the means to Lager yet, but I'll think of something)
