This kit from AHS is supposed to be similar to Bud, but better.
You can buy that crap for less than it would cost you to make it, what's the point?
Because YOU made it.
extra-light/pilsen DME or pilsen malt. your going to need a lot of rice 20-40% of your grainbill. rice extract or boiled mashed.
very little hops and noble hops even for bittering.
tettnanger, sazz, hallertaur, might get away with mt hood.
us-05 on the cold side can get you close but a true clone is going to need a lager yeast and temp control
So the man wants to brew a bud clone? If that's what he wants, let him. Or maybe he wants to make it for BmC drinking friends who knows. No need to come dump on his thread.
Sounds good. I was thinking that 05 can come pretty close.
Ok guys. I live around St Louis and have never made beer at all. I've started making wine about 5 weeks ago and I like it, but my brother wants to make beer. I'm up for all of it. Beer, wine, wiskey. Just to try different things. But I have no clue what I'm doing. I have a home brew store 8 miles away that has everything I want to make all of it. But ain't got a clue what to make so we choose bud light. So if there's better than that. Which I know there is. Point me in the right direction, cause I'm lost.
yes, beer can become infected with wild yeast, bacteria, etc and be ruined. however, it isn't hard to keep things sanitary and keep the risk of infection to a minimum.When making beer. Can it sour like wine and be undrinkable. Or is it a little easier to make.
Challenge. Novelty. Personal satisfaction.I can fill a keg with an all grain Tripel for less than it costs for a keg of Bud here.
Why do anything less?
I thought it would do that. Just wanted to ask. And if I make a batch (small) do I have to bottle it in normal beer bottles. Or can I do it bulk. All in one bottle.
Thanks guys. I've never done beer. So I don't wanna start out making the best yet. So I'm looking for easy and newbee friendly but with a good taste.
i'd suggest going with a nice american pale ale. hard to go wrong there (at least in picking the style... how the beer turns out is up to you )Thanks guys. I've never done beer. So I don't wanna start out making the best yet. So I'm looking for easy and newbee friendly but with a good taste.
White Labs Cry Havoc yeast is the Budweiser yeast.

bobmcstuff said:You can bottle it however you want - I use a mix of 330ml, 500ml and 660ml bottles, I understand in the US you have 75cl and 2l "growlers" you can use too. I also have a couple of 5l mini-kegs which are pretty good.
I bottle into growlers when I can, they hold ~1/2 gallon of beer. They're much easier to handle than bottles, just make sure to use 'flip-top' growlers with thick lass, NOt the thin-glass screw-top ones
