Donasay said:I am thinking of doing a pabst blue ribbon clone, does anyone know what hops and malt are used to make PBR. Also do they use any adjuncts such as corn or rice.
Cheesefood said:Some two-row and some rice solids. As for hops, show the wort a picture of Hallertau for about 20 seconds. Then lager.
z987k said:How about this:
2.5lbs 2-row
3lbs flaked rice
.1oz Cascade 60mins
wyeast 2035
before bottling, piss in the bottling bucket to taste.
should be about right

Donasay said:I have a bad habit of making insane drunken bets. One of my friends wants to see if I can make some PBR for him. It is more about practicing my skills at lagering than anything else.
My american lagers are fairly good, but they are made with all malt, and I think they are more hoppy and more malty than they should be. I am getting ready to try and make some with some adjuncts and get them super light, it should be a worthwhile thing to try.
homebrewer_99 said:Is that .1 (1/10th) of an oz? What AA% are they?
The AA% is actually more important than the amount as AA%'s vary.
polishski said:First question: Are you rich?
Because Liquid Gold is the main ingrediant in Pabst Blue Ribbon.
This is way it's price moves with the price of Gold.

I'm going to say that you should try using malted barley instead of raw barley. And then maybe you'll have better conversion than listed:
EDIT: on second thought, knowing PBR, maye this is intentional.

Great thread.
I feel like the Lone Ranger here (old series, old thread). To me PBR is a CLEAN, basic lager. Great for being VERY drinkable, although it is like a start to a well planned lager. I am looking to clone mainly to build upon and enhance. 4.99 a six pack of 16 oz.ers? My dad and uncle Porter had it right. I remember them throwing these down 40 years ago, like the world was going to end!
