Looking for a BUD clone, trying to convert the wife to real beer and figured the best way is to make a real BUD. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Reverend JC said:You call it a "heffy"?
Thats weird, but i suppose manly.
anthrobe said:I have always had good luck introducing women to microbrews with a heffy. My last GF could not get enough of my heffy with a little bit of apricot added. Which reminds me, try a fruit beer as well. They seem to love that stuff.

My wife had an Apricot Weiss she loved at a brewfest.
Could you tell me how you did yours? Real apricot or some type of extract?
I know what you mean. I haven't had a Bud since 1975, but Budvar is NOTHING like American Buttwiper!Evan! said:Of all the things to clone...why in god's name would you waste your time with pissweiser?...
homebrewer_99 said:Not only that, 1 half liter of the ORIGINAL only cost $0.53 a glass in the gasthaus - that includes service and tax!
It's only been less than 3 years ago, but I think it depends on which gasthaus you go to also.dantodd said:The price has gone up since you were there! I was just there in October and the price is now almost $1 for a half liter. Damn inflation!
Really liked both Budvar and Staropramen!

It's only 6 cents difference. That's not bad. I've seen worse when it was DMs (Deutsche Mark).the_bird said:The dollar is a LOT weaker relative to the Euro than it was three years ago, so when you translate back into dollar terms, it's a lot more expensive. The Euro conversion was a while ago, probably seven or eight years.

Any idea when the UK is going to drop the shenannigans with the pound and go Euro?
I'm waiting for the NorthAmero. No more getting turned down at vending machines because of stupid Canadian quarters. No offense, Cannuks, but it's almost an illicit thrill to pass off one of those albatrosses that are so ubiquitous in American pockets and purses.

True, there is a great difference when you compare the current price of the Euro to when it came out...I was living in Germany at the time.Cheesefood said:The Euro was created in 1998, but E-day was Jan 1, 2002. Not every country in the European Union is on the Euro.

homebrewer_99 said:As for waiting for the NorthAmero...it's coming. Bush, the Canadian PM, and Presidente Fox have already signed the doc for the genesis of the North American Union WITHOUT the approval of Congress. This is totally illegal unless you are a dictator. Bush has made our Constitution totally worthless. They signed up for 1 NA Union, 1 currency, and 1 language. My money is on Espanol... There are current plans to build a super highway from the Mexican port where trucks pick up goods from China and ship them all the way to Canada. The first stop in the US? Kansas City. They don't even have to stop at the border.
Pirate Ale said:Since this topic has mentioned cream ale several times, i have a question?
Has anyone ever added belgian candi sugar to a cream ale to boost tha ABV?
Would it work?
And how much would you add?
I like a cream ale on occassion, but after IPA's and Stouts they are a little weak.
No joke...it's a done deal...those aholes in DC think we're all sheep...desiderata said:Bill, I hope this is a joke. If not, please post the source. I'd like to find out more about this.
