hey guys i just finished my first all grain and loved it but my friends all think its to bitter. one even said it tasted like a tree. Is there a recipe for a "lite" beer like a dudweiser or something that i can make just to keep the friends happy?

Pick up a can of Cooper's Lager and simply dissolve the syrup in the can with 2 pounds of corn sugar. Sprinkle the dry yeast on top, stir and ferment.
You can make 6 gallons of decent BMC clone in 10 minutes. Why struggle to make a lite beer using all grain? Make fantastic beers using all grain and make a Cooper's kit for the friends. Don't buy any other brand of canned kit. Cooper's is the only canned kit manufacturer that is an actual brewery.
The Cooper's kits turn out well when you need a batch in a hurry to feed your friends so they won't have to "choke down" the most wonderful IPA you have ever tasted.

What total snobbery. Just because your friends like BMC macro junk doesn't mean they are hopelessly irredeemable if they turn their nose up at your brutal dry hopped double IIPA. I certainly didn't get into brewing to make lazy, tasteless beer out of cans.
Skip the crappy pre-hopped extract kits altogether and brew a nice, complex, malty session mild, english pale ale, kolsch, stout or any of the hundreds of other accessible, easy to drink styles.
Try EdWort's famous haus pale ale recipe. I have yet to see anyone turn their nose up at it, no matter how uneducated their palates.
I love this idea.Brew up a big ol' IPA or something you'll like. Invite your friends over. Hand them cans of bud light in hello kitty koozies. Enjoy your beer.
Have to say it...
Get better friends.

...I'd rather just brew it and get the experience...
You nay sayers should be ashamed. Someone wants to brew a light crisp summer beer and expand the acceptance of homebrew among the BMC crowd and you pshaw the notion?
Someone comes to our community seeking advice and rather than helping...you chastise? Could it be that you simply are not capable of brewing such a beer?
But seriously...there's nothing quite as satisfying as brewing a beer that people taste and ask in disbelief..."you really brewed this yourself???"
So in answer to your question, the easiest, lightest and most economical beer you can brew to satisfy the chics is a cream ale. Not too hoppy. A good quencher and crystal clear.
This recipe comes in around 3.6% so it's a great all day beer.
