Rougue Dead Guy Ale

[JimH]

I am sitting here waiting for the wife to get home, we are going bowling with some friends tonight. Got me thinking, the bowling alley has one of the better beer selections in town (kinda weird, the place is a dump), but the last time I was there I had a Dead Guy Ale. I have only had one, but I liked it, and will probably start my night with one tonight.

So, does anyone have a recipe for Dead Guy Ale? Preferably an extract recipe, but if you have an AG recipe I might try it, or convert it to PM/Extract.

Just FYI the AHA website is a really great resource for recipes, both All Grain and Extract. The also have one of the better listing of clone recipes available. Including this Rouge Dead Guy Ale clone http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/p ... -ale-clone

Thanks for the link Lou! I wasn't aware the AHA website had so much information.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a Dead Guy recipe in the book "Clone Recipes". Got the e-book free from Amazon.

Rogue also offers many of their brews in kits http://rogue.com/store/categories/Fun-S ... brew-Kits/

I have seen a lot of their recipes listed in their blogs. They seem to be happy to share their brews with the home brewing community.

That's pretty awesome. But dang, their kits are pricey, and you gotta buy the yeast separate, too!

Side note: I found a bottle of the REAL stuff in my mini fridge tonight and I decided to have it with dinner. Had to pour it out

Super diacytel-bomb. I've had many of these so it was a fluke, but sad anyway.
