The recipes described indicate the ingredients I used to brew the
beer. These may or may not match with the ingredients found in the
cited references. For the authoritative clone recipe and complete
descriptions of how to make any of these beers using either
extract, mash or mini-mash methods consult the cited text. I
heartily recommend the "clone" books referenced, any of them is
well worth the small investment and will pay off in great beer.
