That’s hilarious. My batch turned out very well, kind of like I’d expect a shitty lager clone to turn out. I actually really like the stuff, and in the OE comparison, the homebrew kicked the commercial variety’s proverbial butt. A noble experiment for sure, it was definitely fun doing a lager for the first time.

So how did it turn out? I brewed the OE clone and ended up subbing 1.5 lbs of flaked corn for 1.25 lbs of table sugar. It’s hard to believe that a lager yeast could get something from 1.055 down to 1.004 without using sugar. The 6-row was scrapped for an all 2-row malt bill and I mashed 148. The boil was very vigorous for 60 minutes and I used Hallertau Mittlefruh instead of the other hops with White Labs Mexican Lager yeast.

So yeah, this ended up not being a clone at all but whatever. We listened to a lot of gangsta rap, had lowrider videos playing on teh VCR in the garage, BBQ’d was in effect with the BYOSTF (Bring Your Own #### To Fry) party kickin’. Proper
