Molsen Golden Ale

[marklew NJ]

I want to make a Golden Ale that is similar to MOLSEN GOLDEN ALE


I am new to Home Brewing and I am about to start the purchase of equipment and produce ingredents.


Can anyone help?

Welcome Mark!

Hope you enjoy the fourms and the wonderful hobby of homebrewing.
Will you be using extract only...or extract and grains...or all grain? I would imagine that you would want to start by using extracts. I'll post a recipe for this brew soon...just give me a while to look it up. Molsen used to be one of my fav beers....until I really discovered REAL Beer...LOL!! I haven't had one in a long time but I do remember it. I'll see what I can come up with for you. Hang in there and enjoy the boards!

Thanks for the reply on my post about Molsen Golden.

Here is a recipe package that you can buy that should be similat to Molson. I'd probably go with one of the liquid yeasts if I wanted it to taste more like Molson, but the dry yeast would be easier for a beginner.

Im curious why you would say dry yeast is easier. I haven't made too many beers (only about 5) and i've always used liquid yeast. I don't do anything special and all but once i've had good fermentation. I was thinking of using a starter on my next brew, but the homebrew store i went to said there was no need unless i was making a beer with high alc. like a belgian. He just suggested using a yeast nutrient.

Id like to hear what others have to say about that.

Thanks

I'd recommend just using a smack pack.

A package of liquid yeast has about half the yeast needed to completely ferrment 5 gal of a beer in the 1.050 range. While this can work, it's less than ideal and can particularly be a problem in a beer like this that you want to have a clean crisp taste.

Underpitching yeast can result in:
