Spotted Clown (New Glarus Spotted Cow clone) 1 All Grain stikks 1-10-2013 5.5 gal 7.5 gal 20.81976479 28.39058835 75 70 pitch 1600 ml starter at 68 degrees Mash in the 152 to 154 range for a bit of body.You do not want the beer to thin. I`ve made this brew 6 times.Last batch was Mar 6 2014.If you have ever tried this brew from wisconsin,(New Glarus) brewery this recipe comes close to what Spotted Cow is all about.They claim it is a Farmhouse Ale but do not use Saison yeast. After extensive research this is what I I came up with for a recipe.The are secretive about the yeast they use,but the consensus is,it is a Kolsch yeast either Wyeast 2565 or WLP 029 and I think it is 029.My preference is 2565. Wyeast 2565 is my house yeast. Ferment at 58-60 degrees with Wyeast 2565 or 62-65 with WLP 029 I`ve had good compliments on this brew from others.I live on the Wisconsin border and they don`t sell it in Illinois, for some reason they will not ship it to this state.Will update as needed but for now this recipe is a pretty solid clone. I made 11 gals (2 batches) in march 2014 I cant keep it in the house fast enough. SWMBO and her friends love it.With the temps soaring in Chicago this is a great brew for summer.From kettle to glass is about 5 weeks so turnover is quick. Good luck if you try it,shouldn`t be disappointed. Made batch 7 (5 gal) on 6-14-14 and used Mt.Hood for flavoring (.5) and aroma (.5) I think the domestic hops are closer to the original flavor. -enjoy- Made batch #8 2-28-2015 no changes should be ready to drink mid April Cheers 5.94 21.27 Tinseth 5.36 1.054 sg 1.014 sg 1.054 1.014 corn sugar corn sugar 4.2 oz corn sugar 4.2 oz Volumes f true 2.92145574 Pale 2-Row 1 Grain 2.72155422 80.43 1.8 false United States Munich - Light 10L 1 Grain 0.90718474 71.74 10 false United States Flaked Corn 1 Adjunct 0.5669904625 86.96 0.5 false Flaked Barley 1 Adjunct 0.7937866475 69.57 2.2 false Caramel / Crystal 10L 1 Grain 0.2267961848 76.09 10 false United States Carapils (Dextrine Malt) 1 Grain 0.2267961848 71.74 1.8 false United States Cascade 1 6.7 0.01417476155 Boil Boil 60 german select 1 5.8 0.01417476155 Boil Boil 20 Willamette 1 5.2 0.01417476155 Boil Boil 5 whirlfloc 1 Fining Boil 15 1 TRUE yeast nutrient 1 Other Boil 15 0.00492892 FALSE Mash Steps 1 20 rest at 152 1 Infusion 60 15.141647136 76.666666666667 rest at 168 - mashout 1 Infusion 15 7.570823568 100 to volume - 7.5 gallons 1 Infusion 45 17.034353028 79.444444444444 Kölsch 2565 1 Ale 0.1 2565 Wyeast 75 Low 13.333333333333 21.111111111111 bottled spring water 1 20.81976479 0 0 0 0 0 0 bottled spring water
