As you may know, this year we celebrated Benjamin Franklin's 300th birthday. www.beertown.com has published a recipe for a beer dedicated to this event and over 100 breweries participated, making this beer available during the month uf January.
I somehow managed to wait too long and was unable to find it in the local brewhouses, which convinced me that the only way to taste this reportedly great beer was if I brewed it myself. Fortunately, beertown.org is announcing the brew day and provides 3 recipes for that day, Poor Richard's Ale (extract formulation) being one of them ;D
If you want more details, check out www.beertown.org

Cheers,
Brewbear
 
Thank you for the link Oskaar! The link you provided refers to the Poor Richard and how the recipe was derived as well as giving the recipe in all grain form.
This link: http://www.beertown.org/events/bigbrew/recipes.html is the link to the Big Brew event. By clicking on the underlined blue names mentioned in the article, you are redirected to the recipes - both all grain and extract formulations.
I am only being picky about this because I spent several weeks searching for this recipe in extract form and what I found was close, but not quite the real recipe for this ale. Now, beertown is posting for the first time the extract formulation.

Cheers,
Brewbear
 
Poor Richard ale was an interesting experience, but not something that I would want 5 gallons of. A few members of my guild are still trying to get rid of their stock. I enjoy experimental/historical beers, but I rarely make them myself, as they usually dissapoint in the drinkability department.
