How to Triple Hop a Miller Lite Clone!
|
|
OK..... I am frickin tired of seeing those triple hopped BS commercials from Miller. Who's with me?
One of my preferred HB-Library books, " Home Brewers Gold" written by Chuck has a recipe for Miller Lite.
Wow - to my surprise its not even triple hopped!!!
Here it is, I'm gonna make this but REALLY do the triple hopping with somethin'
I'm gonna keep the IBU at 16 but do a late hop at flame out, then dry hop it too.
So my proposed Tripling is at; 60, 0, Dry
Question - Now what should I use fer hops......?????

I forgot to mention my other motive here.
I'm unemployed and I want to make a cheap lawnmower beer. I think the novelty of REALLY triple hopped Miller Lite will just amuse me.

GREAT IDEA! I would love someone to actually "Triple Hop" a Miller Lite to see what it tastes like compared to an actual Miller Lite (if it is triple hopped or not).

2 ounces of hallertau....seems high to me.

Below is another Miller Lite clone....

Let ferment for 2 weeks, then bottle condition for 2 weeks. Chill and enjoy a nice, cold Miller Lite.

Yes, I think so. Maybe their starter was triple hopped.
I was thinking liberty or hallertauer. I also have a good bit of saaz too.
