good cheap all grain ale recipe.

Im trying to find basicly a bud type ale. What i meen is something that is higly drinkable to your everyday person, aka women, but doesnt require lagering as i dont have the equipment ti control fermentation temp.

Look up cream of three crops on here. Its a very nice cream ale

cream of 3 crops recipe on here is a go-to for most people seeking the same thing.

you can also try making a nice light smash with some 2-row and a delicate little hop like Saaz or something.

I made a Belgian blonde that everyone liked. Was SMaSH, pale ale malt and nugget hops, mashed a little high on purpose (155). Comes out sweet, light, crisp, refreshing.
1.054
100% Pale Ale Malt
15.7 IBU's FWH
8.7 IBU's 30m

A Kolsch would be nice, too.

careful there...

I would definitely recommend BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. If you keg, it can be ready in 8-10 days.

Another point for cream of three crops. It really is a good non-lager go to for the beer you are looking for.

no kidding my girlfriend drinks prolly drinks more assertive beer than you OP....

A good cream ale would do nicely.

Cascade SMaSH

10# 2Row - $4.60
4oz Cascade - $4.00
Safale US-05 - $2.99

Total cost for 5G -> $11.59

Not quite a "Bud Type' ale... but if you reduced the hops it may be what you're looking for.

I had a bunch of people comment that my Kolsch was pretty good. 100% Kolsch malt, saaz at 60, kolsch yeast

I would assume that any smash with lighter grain would do the trick. Then play around with different types/amounts of hops to dial in what you really like. That is part of the beauty of homebrewing: being able to make a good beer better.

Yeah, the reason I mentioned my Belgian Blonde is that it was a smash, low on hops, light, not malty, etc BUT ALSO that it's easiest to brew. No flaked corn, rice, etc. Just grab some base malt and a hop and go.

Local brewery Madison River Brewing Company http://www.madisonriverbrewing.com/ will sell 2-row at 50# / 23$. They sell specialty grains too, but speaking to the workers they said it's a PITA to do non-base grains... so I usually get the specialty grains at LHBS. I usually buy my hops off of http://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com, which is $3.40 for 4oz of cascade. I calculated shipping in and it came out to about $4.00 for the hops. LHBS sells US-05 for $2.99, though I think they upped it to something like $3.99 recently. Regardless, extra dollar isn't too bad for 5 gallons.

You could go to the AHA site and look up $12 Cream Ale. I think that's what it was called. Or go with what the others have suggested. All have been made many times by many people with great success.

I have a gang of 2011 crop hops in the freezer, vacuum sealed. Paid $6.99/lb. for Nugget, Willamette, and Columbus. I get other hops free from homebrew competition at local brewery and use them (mostly noble hops) for lagers and Kolschs, etc.

Buy grain via group buys for under $40/50lb. sack shipped.

Harvest yeast.

I can brew 9 gallons of SMaSH for under $20.

well played.

My belgian blonde is highly regarded by women, just sayin.

You want BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. It's hoppy/malty enough to satisfy you and your "beer friends" and just mellow enough to satisfy the non-beer people too. It is WITHOUT QUESTION the keg that empties the quickest in my house. Bonus: I can make a batch for about $22, and I can go from grain to glass in about two weeks.
