Fat Tire Clone

I got this Phat Tyre Amber Ale kit from the NB.

Specialty Grains
.50 lbs Victory Malt
.50 lbs Briess Caramel 60
(both mixed together in the same bag)

Fermentables
1 lbs Pilsen DME (boil for 60 min)
6 lbs Amber Malt Syrup (boil for 15 min)

Boil Additions
1 oz Willamette (60 min)
1 oz Hallertau Select (15 min)

Wyeast #1762 Belgian Abbey II. Floculation medium. Apparent attenuation 73-77%. Optimum temp 65-75.

"Our Phat Tyre kit is copper-red with a fruity, slightly spicy aroma and a flavor that comes from a combination of yeast and hops. A blend of caramel and Victory malts creates a sweat, toasty, bready character that lingers from the aroma through the finish. Make sure to stash a six-pack for yourself, because this one's a crowd pleaser."

We shall see!

BTW the fat tire clone is the carboy on the left draped in red and yellow towels.
