Hi just wondering if anyone has a clone recipe for bud they might wanna share.
 
Find the lightest extract you can get, throw in 20% rice syrup, bitter it to 10 ibus with willamette and ferment on the warm end with a lager yeast.

Then beechwood age it!
 
Grab a tin of Coopers Lager, a jar of Rice Malt from the Health food isle at the supermarket and a box/bag of Coopers BE2. A lager yeast would also be nice. Make it up to about 22L-23L

Suggest a can of Mex Cerveza instead of the lager a little bit more neutral.
 
One more question how big of a jar of rice malt?

I used 500g in one brew could not notice anything in the taste so I would guess 500g or 1Kg if you need a higher alcohol reading.

BTW buy your maltose (rice malt syrup) from an Asian Grocery shop much cheaper than Woolies or Coles.

Would you suggest a saaz hops bag as well. I have just found a recipe that says use a pilsner tin and saaz hops how do you think that would go?

I would follow the recipe you found as not much knowledge of American Bud here. I would have thought saaz hops would give it more of a European flavour. Wonder if your recipe is actually for the Czech Budvar the original Budweiser pilsner.

Edit: just looking at the Californian recipe they used Nugget hops

Hi, the recipe i found is as follows: Beermakers czech pilsner, brew blend #20 saf lager yeast and 2-4 drops of saaz emulsion in each bottle, dunno if this is for the yankee stuff but sounds good anyway. Thanks koma
 
brewing classic styles suggests 17g of Hallertau 4% AA boiled 10 mins for an American light lager.

recipe is 2.26 kg light LME
600g Rice Syrup

15g lager yeast

4% alcohol,

If you want more booziness id be inclined to bump up the Rice to keep it light.
 
I have heard they use willamette, but it doesn't really matter as you just want the bitterness (what little there is in a bud), not any flavour or aroma.
