Well, my Dad has asked me repeatedly to "brew something like Bud", so I took the initiative and put a recipe together.
3 lbs, 10 oz of Munton's Light LME
1 lb rice solids, dry
Both added after kettle with 8 quarts of water brought to a boil, flame turned off. Resumed boil after stirring fermentables well, water now at 170 F.
Added 1 1/2 oz Chinook hops, boiled for 20 minutes.
Put into stainless fermenter, topped off with additional water to five gallons, put fermenter into water bath of 54 F water, with six gallons of ice added. Temp down to 78 F in 12 minutes.
Pitched Munton's dry yeast, moderate krausen within 24 hours, within 48 hours krausen reached underside of glass top on bucket.
Ten days later, only a few small bubbles remained on surface. Bottled after 22 days in primary. (A strange resumption of krausen activity appeared on surface within the last two days before bottling?)
3/4 C corn sugar in priming bucket, bottled into starsan-purified bottles. Yielded 51 1/2 bottles.
Now, 13 days in the bottle, I drank one. Good head, good aroma and color, but has what seems to be a "burnt" aftertaste.
Any ideas?
