Have you looked at the clone on this site? At the very least, I wouldn't omit that huge hop charge at the end of the boil - it's a pretty big part of the flavor of that beer.

[Thomas Fransson]

yep, this recipe is based on that one. I just had to sub the carastan to all crystal.
I lowerd the OG but kept the hoppinging rates of the original clone recipe. apart from the first edition
that i also changed to columbus since there were no NB in the freezer.
