Does anyone know a good clone recipe for Carlsberg or Carlsberg Elephant? How would one make a very dry beer like that??

Low mash temp, maybe some simple sugars and definitely a lager yeast.

Write Charles Bamforth an E-mail. He use to work for them. I'm sure he could point you in the right direction.

It's been a long time since I had a Carlsberg Elephant and it's really dry? I remember I liked it but I don't remember it being dry.

According to Wyeast's website, the Bohemian lager (2124) is a "Carlsberg type" yeast, so that's probably your best bet. It is one of the strains Mr. Beer sells. (If you can't get lager temps, the strain can be used to make a California common fermented in the 65-68F range.)

It's been 30 years since I had an Elephant beer when temporarily stationed in Denmark. I drank many an iced mug while there in Jutland. Let us know what you eventually learn.
