I personally don't like yeungling or this clone all that much but a couple friends talked me into making an attempt since they cannot get it where we live locally. It does taste like Yeungling and they agree, they did a blind taste test with their friends who insisted they simply took the label off the bottle. My FG came in low for some reason which is the reason for the 1lb. extract added to primary so you may want to wait make FG test at flame out. ABV should be 4.5 I made sure to use 6-row, I could not get corn grist so I used flaked corn. I used finings to clear the beer, fermented around 55F in controlled freezer and forced carbonated around 2.7.

Special Instructions
  1. Sparged at 170F to produce 6.5 gallon of wort for boil.
  2. Boil for one hour, add hops and Irish Moss or Whirlfloc at appropriate times.
  3. From start to finish beer was bottled in 5 weeks from keg and never saw temperatures above 60F except for a couple days prior to cold stabalizing. I like to carbonate around 34F.
