I need help from a more experienced brewer to make my ideal homebrew.
My Drinking Habbits: I typically like to enjoy microbrews, but since times are tough and I cannot stand most major brand beers, I have been drinking Schlitz High Gravity malt liquor. 2 24oz cans usually gets you a buzz, it tastes like something other than water and only costs about $1.38 a can.
My Brewing experience: I have brewed about 7 homebrews; some better than others. I have never lagered anything. Usually the simpler the recipe and the lower original gravity the better my beer turns out. I dont get to spend a lot of time tending to my beer, but on weekends i can take necessary steps to move it along.
My equipment: Turkey fryer, 6 gal kettle, assorted buckets with spigots and without, 6 gal glass carboy, airlocks syphons thermometer, specific gravity mesurer, chest freezer with outlet cutoff to control temps, and basic kegging equip. I am not looking to make any large investment for this brew, but willing to pick up a few small items if necessary.
I am looking for some recommendations to make a powerful light colored beer similar to my favorite varieties of malt liquor, maybe a lager. I would prefer to do extract with maybe a little grain to complexify the flavor. Can anyone recommend a good kit, ingredients, or some combination of the two along with a short write up on any special steps I might consider through the process?
