BEST BEER...
2008-08-02 9:17pm
of the 32 Beers I have brewed this one has been my most enjoyed Beer...at first I felt that it would be too light of a malt flavor...also I used so few hops in this Beer but the flavors just pop out! I highly recommend this recipe!
is this the one?

i am very interested in this recipe. I am having a party of about 200 people soon, and would like to try to make 50 gallons of this. I have never tried anything of this scale before, but am willing to give it a shoot. any ideas?
50 gallon version

I have never made a beer with that volume and would assume the evaporation rate would increase...will you do multiple batches? just use beer tools like I just did and scale the recipe to your specifications...also...I did use safale US 05 for the yeast...so it is actually not a lager...it is a wonderful ale...if you are wanting a lager then you won't be drinking this batch for a while. if you have more questions please ask.

Thank you for the quick responce. I am looking for a lager, a bud clone. as far as taste, how close is this to bud light?
mash tun size and brew kettle?

I have no Idea what kind of brew setup that you have and also the batch size you are capable of. most people are only set for 5-20 gallons at a time...
