What is a “Clone” Homebrew Recipe?
Especially when brewing a clone recipe straight from the commercial brewery, comparing your version with the real thing is a great way to assess your brewing processes and what needs to be done to get closer and closer to a perfect cone. Brewing clones is also a great way to get to experience commercial beers that are tough to get your hands on. Whether you want to try a beer that isn’t distributed to your state or can’t wait for that seasonal that is months away, brewing clones can help scratch the itch while improving your homebrewing chops.
