I always find with the clone beers I've made they're not really that similar to the actual beer.
I think there's possibly a number of reasons for this. The yeast strain used is highly important along with the fermentation temperature. The mash temperature used is also very important (and whether it's a step mash).
I'd be interested to know other people's experiences with trying to clone beers.
( As a little aside I'm working on a little opensource device for homebrewers to measure specific gravity during fermentation http://hackaday.io/project/1231-Zymeter )
