I having been looking for this for ages but I was given the rough recipe from a certain brewery near by recently. I have not tried it yet as I don't have the right hops but I think I will do something similar using alternative hops soon:

5 gallons:

Pale Malt 3840 grams 87%
Wheat Malt 130 grams 3%
Flaked Maize 440 grams 10%

Bittering- equal quantites of both. I don't know the IBU of Crop Circle so you we need to find this out to get the calculate quantity of hops

East kent goldings
Pioneer

I think they use 2.5Kg of each hop in a 20 barrel brew plant so we can scale that down to a 5 gallon batch.
Aroma:

EKG
Pioneer
Tentnang

I have no idea how much aroma hop quantity to use but I don't think it matters much. I am not sure if there is corriander in this one and I have no experience of using this in beers yet (I am quite new to beer brewing)

This recipe should provide you with a good start and get somewhere close to Crop Circle with a bit of luck.

BTW: I have currently created this Crop Circle recipe in Beer Engine using the hops I have. I cannot remember if I made up the the figure of "35 IBU" or not but the OG should be ok.
