Ok, so like pretty much everyone on here, I enjoy a "Good" brew. Something that actually taste like a "beer" and not water in a can.
However, if I were to keep pace with my "Good Beer" desires, I'd be broke in no time as I'm just getting started in Homebrewing and don't have that awesome pipeline many of you fellow brewers have achieved.
So, until that day comes, I'm left to either fork out the money from my very limited selections of "Good Beer" that I have available to me where I live, which I do quite frequently. But as my girlfriend finally is learning the awesomeness of beer, I can still only get her to drink.... Natural light... (Hangs head in shame...) Long story short, if she wants some beer, it's usually natural light.
Definitely not saying I am above drinking natty light, as I've personally decimated many a cases of Natty in my day, but a few things.
A, I have got to find a decent in between or something similar my girlfriend enjoys that I can brew at home to keep her interest piqued as she continues her venture into the beer realm.
And B, I have got to find a recipe for something of that sort that's cheap to make, and simple enough that I can just brew gallons upon gallons of the stuff. Mainly because if you're like me and ever drink natty light (or some other water in a can), I can literally drink a 12 pack over the course of an evening and more if I'm actually hanging out, playing cards or whatever.
Point of post, is it possibly to find a beer recipe that would be similar to a light light beer (I know I know), but cheap enough to even justify it. A 12 pack of natty light is like 8 bucks. Even if I had to spend 10 bucks a 12 pack on something I've brewed that she enjoys and I can drink along with her if I have no other beer it'd be worth it.
So to all my fellow brewing friends who's been in the game much, much longer than I, any suggestions?
