St Arnold lawnmower clone
I am looking for a clone recipe of St Arnold lawnmower. Havnt had any luck locating one and I can't get this beer in Alaska
Looks like they have enough info on their site to make a pretty good stab at cloning it.
Ingredients
Malted Barley: True to style, this beer is brewed with just pale malted barley and a dash of malted wheat. We import the world's best pils and wheat malts to create the light yet rich malt body.
Hops: We use a single hop variety in this beer: Hallertauer Hallertauer (that is its name, not a typo). Four separate additions to the brew kettle create the delicate flavor and aroma of this classic hop.
Water
Yeast
Specifications
Original Gravity: 1.045 (11.4° Plato)
Color: Blond
Bitterness: 20 IBU
Alcohol Content: By weight - 3.9%; By volume - 4.9%
My ninja google skills are in overdrive tonight. I found a photo of a printed copy of the grain bills for 10 of St. Arnolds beers. Looks like they might do two different versions of their Fancy Lawnmower beer: a "Two Row batch" and a "Pils batch".
Not sure what size system these grain bills are based on but they're basically the same thing; 1705 lb 2 row or Pilsner and 155 lb Wheat which equals 91.6% and 8.3% respectively.
Based on the info on their website for a 6 gallon batch based on 75% efficiency I'd go with,
8.75 lb German Pilsner
0.75 lb German Wheat
Hallertauer Hallertauer at 60, 30, 15 and flameout
WLP029 or Wyeast 2565 Kolsch yeasts
I also read that their brewer is pretty accommodating when it comes to helping homebrewers. I'd shoot him an email with a proposed recipe asking him to critique it rather than flat out asking for the recipe.
Good luck.

This is a pretty good approach rather than just asking for a recipe, present the brewer with your own and talk about it. Its much nicer way to do it.
