I think I could have had a little more warrior to get the same bite that Abrasive delivers. I also could have done a better job of dry hopping. I used leaf hops and didn't get them submerged as much as I could have. Color is off for a clone but the taste is really close. I'll be tweaking this one just a bit (based on Justin's recipe) and definitely brewing it again.

I didn't do any of my usual tricks to try and get this one to clear more but next time around I'll give it more attention and try to clean it up some. Overall very satisfied with this brew.

Attached is my version of the Surly Abrasive Clone. I would say is was an exact clone of the 2012 Abrasive.  It is set up for 10 gallons if you want me to scale it to 5 gallons or something else let me know.  For this style of beer I usually add 4 gallons of distilled water to my mash based off my tap water profile so adjust your water profile accordingly, it really does make a difference.  
 
FYI, next time I make it I will mash around 150-152 instead of 156 to see what happens, was a little too sweet for me.  
 
Enjoy
 
Justin
