[dave88]

hello, is there any resipees for a beer that is simular to becks or hineken. excuse my bad spelling but my computer dose not have spell check and i suck at spelling.

can't help with the recipe but I can with the spelling. switch to Firefox as your browser. It has built-in spell check. plus it's better than IE in almost every way imaginable.

Beck's isn't that hard. Neither are any of the German lagers for that matter. Beck's uses two-row malted barley, German lager yeast, water, and Hallertau hops. You could do a mini-mash with extra pale malt extract replacing part of the grain. Check with your LHBS. They can set you up with a kit. Keep in mind that you are talking about a lager. You need a way to cold ferment and then the beer will need to age for six months or so.

I have a recipe if you brew all grain and can do lager fermentations.

just do a kolsch. much easier, similar tastes. research it.

Just do a kolsch and throw some skunk anus in it. Seriously, Becks is a lager, as stated above, you will need to have some good fermentation control in order to brew this type of beer (and some skunk anus)!

Skunk Anus . . . Look who's the ANUS . . . Drink a SNPA :cross:

Just because he has a hard time spelling does NOT mean he doesn't have an old fridge and a $50 temp controller.

Great info from Stormrider51 and BigEd. . .

Brew what you like . . . Its all about what YOU want to put YOUR hard earned MONEY into . . . Some are here to belittle people for whatever reason . . .
Don't get sucked into buying sh!t beer and drinkin it every couple every couple days so you fool yourself into thinking your making a great beer at home.
Pretty much . . . . Dont FORCE your self to drink dirt water flavored with pine cones and tree bark . . .

DAVE88 . . . GOOD Luck on your Quest for a better tasting BEER . . . Find people with similar tastes and get accustomed to the IBU ratings chart and be prepaired or the long haul.

PS . . . ROLL TIDE :rockin: . . .
