ST IPA Clone

Does anyone have a recipe for a clone of ST IPA? I'm not having much luck finding one on the net.

Thanks!

I took a look around and couldn't find one. Nevertheless, could be a good opportunity to develop a clone recipe by yourself (and perhaps the help of others on this board).

Facts:

ABV: I've seen it listed as 6.9% in a few places, 7.1% on the ST website. The LCBO has it at 6.5%. I'd target 6.5% since the LCBO actually does the EtOH analysis using GC.

Colour: On the ST website they list it at 12.1°L in one place, and 11.4°L in another.

IBU: 65

Malts: Label says '4 types of malts'. My guess would be Pale, Carapils?, Vienna? and Caramel.

Hopping: Label says '4 types of hops'. 'Triple Hopped'. Columbus (bittered?) & Willamette (flavour & aroma?) in kettle, dry hopped with Cascade. Not sure on the 4th hop variety.

Probably either Centennial or Chinook in early-mid boil.

There is a recipe for an Unearthly clone in the Clone Brews book that I am anxious to try out.

They use to list the hops on the label... but I think they might have changed it up during the hop crisis, as they removed that info.

Have you called or e-mailed the brewery? There's a chance that they would be willing to share some recipe information and/or tips with you.
