Budweiser or similar kit please??

[Farley]

Hi I'll looking at kit that is similar to a Budweiser or similar light beer any suggestions?
I know most think it's piss water but nothing quenches your thirst after mowing the lawn than an ice cold bud!
Any suggestions welcome

I shall resist the urge (I know lots of you forumites wont be able to) to post something sarcastic and suggest just getting a blonde ale kit and using a portion of white table sugar along with the DME. The table sugar will dry the kit out and make it more lager like ( I'm doing something similar but with AG this eve, to make a pseudo lager) . If you want something as bud like as you can, that is to say quite bland I suggest the coopers blond ale, as from reviews I've read, it's quite a bland kit.

Also, I know you havent asked about it but I would buying a second pack of yeast and pitch both packs. This will supress ester production and give you as clean a ferment as possible with the yeast your going to use (unless you've got a lager fridge and can lager), which is another little trick of pseudo lagering

Although it’s rubbish bland beer, I have never heard a craft brewer have bad words about it.
Something that insipid would be very unforgiving to disguise off flavours.

Been reading a link @MyQul posted and I think they use amalayse to get them so dry. Pilsner malt, nor sure what yeast and any hops in miniscule amounts.

I dont think the makers of bud use Amylse (if that's what your meaning), although that link I posted shows you how to get a bud like (well, miller lite like, which is similar) beer using Amylse. So the OP could feasibly use some Amylse to dry a kit out and try to make it more bud like. I think bud is mashed long and low, which isnt an option for the OP

Try Cooper's Canadian Blonde kit, made up with a kg of brewers sugar.

I would definitely endorse the suggestion of a Coopers Canadian Blonde, plus 500g DME and one kilogram of table sugar to 25L.

That is lawnmower beer from a kit. The original green topped Lager kit from Coopers works very well too. I did a few as my way back into HB almost 5 years ago. Very good chilled.

Coopers Cerveza is probably right down your street.

Don't they use rice and maize in it? Seen something about it in a documentary...

Thanks for all the suggestions.
must of done 15+ kits so far but only done 1 Cooper's kit (hefe wheat) turned out ok but was my very first kit!
I've a Wilko wheat on at the minute then I have a Wilko cerveza to do next with 500g light spray malt 500g brewing sugar & 200g maltodextrin
Maybe it'll be a good summer beer
Thanks again folks

Took your advice slid Cooper's blonde 1kg brew sugar 500g extra light spraymalt kit yeast 25litres, clean clear beer with no loose sediment
Not too shabby for a lawnmower beer
