what do you think gonna be brewing it Sunday
 
One caution: Producing a "clone" is very difficult! I'm not familiar with the original beer but don't be surprised if there's a difference between what you get and what the producer gets. I get recipes from a local craft brewery, the Dry Dock. When I make them exactly to the proportions and ingredients the Dry Dock uses, I get slightly different results. My system is quite different than their seven barrel rig and large conical fermentors. So instead of "clone", I use "inspired by" as my descriptor.

That said, good luck with the beer and let us know how it turns out.
 
Good on you for attempting to duplicate a commercial example you enjoy.

My question is, "what is it about Goose Island?" I've yet to enjoy any beer they make. On one hand, I see how popular they are which makes me think maybe it's just me, but I have a pretty broad acceptance to most beer, and I just can't figure out why people like Goose Island.

well all I can say is they are all English stile beers, the original English beers are not what we have been exposed to here but are very good if tasted fresh from the local pub in Britain
