homebrew recipie for a homebrew that tastes like coors/bud...
I just did my first brew and I too wanted an american mega brewery style beer. It wasn't because they are my favorite, far from it, but I thought it would be an easy beer to know if I screwed up. The recipe given to me by my LHBS was an extract:
3.75# Pilsner hopped LME
2# light DME
1# corn sugar
the yeast came with the LME so I am unsure of what kind, but I think it was an ale yeast cause it wouldn't ferment until I got it to about 64 F but who knows.
I was told that boiling wasn't necessary but I did anyways for 5 minutes.
I just racked it to the secondary and I tried alittle of it and the closest thing I can think of to it was Keystone cause it had a little sweetness to it. Its not going to be my favorite beer, but it was easy to do for a first batch.
Here is a simple recipe you can brew and you will not care if you ever drink another coors or budweiser.
2.5 lbs. muntons dry malt extract (extra light)
1.5 lbs light honey ( I use Tupelo but any light honey will work)
1.0 oz cascade hops (pellets) (6-7 %) (.25 oz for 60 mins, .25 oz for 30 mins .5 oz for 2-5 mins)
1 tsp irish moss (optional)
1 pkg wyeast 1056 (dry safale us 5 can be used)
makes 5 gallons
Bring 3-4 gallons of water to boil, turn off heat, add dry malt extract
and honey and dissolve well......bring back to boil add .25 oz hops
boil 30 mins add .25 oz hops boil 15 mins add irish moss boil 10
mins add .5 oz hops boil 2-5 mins remove from heat and cool
poor into fermenter and pitch yeast at 70 F.
can be racked into secondary fermenter and dry hopped with .5 oz cascade hops (optional)
bottle with 3/4 cup corn sugar
age 3-4 weeks and enjoy, very similar to popular pilseners but no lagering required
