Hello homebrewer,

@T.D.

I´ve made a similar beer, supposed to be a Corona Clone, but in the end it became much better then any Corona.

What I intended to produce is similar to your idea, a blond summer-beer, light in alcohol and color.

perhaps you may fetch some info´s out of my recipe to create your own one´s.

what I got has been a little bit different, yes it was blond and yes it has a light color, but in the end it had 5,35%Vol. alcohol.
therefore I call it being a "Pretender"
pretends to be a light beer, but after two bottles of it .... beerbang.gif

how did I brew it:

6 kg Pilsener Malt
3 kg Corn (Mais)
2 kg Rice

take the whole Rice and Corn and boil it for 20min in 20Liter of water to wash out the starch.
then add another 20Liter of cold Water and cool it to achieve around 52°C.

then mash in the 6kg Pilsener malt at 52°C and rest for 30minutes,
then rise the temp to 63°C and rest for 90minutes (allow the enzymes to do theire work)
next rest at 72°C for 45min.
go to 78° for 20min. and finish.

sparge twice with about 20Liters, means 40Liters of Water.

Now you´ll have approx. 72 Liter of wort.

you may add 100g Hallertauer Pearl 5% at start to boil and boil it for 90minutes.

In the end you´ll have around 65 Litres of Wort at SG 1048.
let me remark, that I got the same SG as I have used pure Pilsener malt.

Ferment it with low-temp-fermenting yeast (Pilsener).
the attenuation will be higher then with Pilsener, it reached down to 1008(7), therefore 5,35% alcohol.

have fun
