Freakwieser Lite

As if our Wheat Beers were not gay enough, I decided to try and out gay even a wheat beer. With the addition of the new lagering chest (pictured in the last post), I just had to make the next beer a lager. So, I made a Lite American Lager. I got the idea from the never ending flow of people asking me if I could make a beer that tastes like Bud Lite. For the last 17 years I have constantly been asked this question by everyone when they find out that I brew beer. So I decided to just make the damn thing and get it over with. It is a 17 gallon batch. I used 12 lbs. of 2 row, 4 lbs. of flaked maize and 4 lbs. of flaked rice. I used 4 oz. of Cascade hops and the OG ended up at 1.034. I should finish around 1.008 or 1.006. I'm actually kind of excited to see how it turns out. It looks and smells just like a can of Bud Lite. It has been 10 days now and it appears to be about ready to transfer. I will keep you posted on how it turns out.
