You will have to forgo that warm wool sweater and some nice juicy lamb chops, but you get something even better gallons of fresh, delicious clonebrew! The best part of this whole process is that you can make your clonebrew just like the commercial brew, or you can adjust it to your own taste. For example, suppose you want to clone your favorite pale ale but lately have come to enjoy hoppier beers. The solution to your dilemma is to make a hoppier clone of your favorite commercial beer. Tweak the recipe to just the way you like it. Thats the beauty of homebrewing you are in charge.
