Re: St Peters Suffolk Gold
St Peters is good stuff, but not many worthwhile clone recipes out there. Here's everything I know:

For what it's worth, the brewery has been very friendly and informative via email with several of us. You could put together a clone recipe of your own, then ask them to critique it...

Re: St Peters Suffolk Gold
A quick update:
I read around here that St. Peters doesn't specifically offer bottle-conditioned beers, but they do not pasteurize, and they occasionally have filtration problems, so every once in awhile their proprietary primary yeast shows up in normal bottles. With that in mind, in shops I've been holding bottles up to the light and I recently bought a St. Peters IPA with noticeable white sediment in the bottom.
So I boiled up a little malt extract and water, and waited for it to cool. I then carefully poured the beer out, leaving the yeast behind, drank the beer, and poured the "yeast starter wort" into the bottle. After a couple days, it was definitely actively fermenting again. Woo-hoo! You can easily do the same, if you want their true yeast strain.

Re: St Peters Suffolk Gold
I followed Seymours advice, and it produced a great beer very near the mark. I used s04 yeast If I remember correctly.
