Hey,

My mom is a big fan of Molson Canadian, and I was going to try to figure out how to replicate a batch of Canadian. I am an extract brewer, so no mashing recipes please ;-)

Thanks.

The closest thing I can think of is a classic american pilsner however you would need to be able to lager, mash either rice or corn, and be very capable of other skills which unless your extract batches are full boils, would be out of reach of the kitchen brewer. Maybe an American Pale Ale would be an easier to achieve style as long as your extract is very fresh. Good luck and then again I might be completely wrong

hmmm... good call with the American Pale Ale, thats what I've got fermenting right now ;-)

hopefully she'll like it, but if anyone has a recipe that replicates Molson Canadian using extract and steeping only, let me know.

As for the full wort boil, I've been doing that by doing 10 liter batches.

Lagering is a must but not mashing If you are willing 2 pay to get extract from the usa. Here is a link to some extract for making light lagers that allready has some corn mashed in it. http://www.williamsbrewing.com/AMERICAN ... 942C99.cfm

You will find that United Canadian makes some of the best malt extracts you can buy. Their stuff is much more fermentable than almost any of the others.

Is there any chance you have any of the fermentability information on their extracts? I am going to be purchasing two 30 kg pails soon (possibly tommorow) and exact information to help with brewing would be helpful.

I don't right off. The guy that would know is Dan Listermann. He uses the stuff in the kits he puts together for his shop. You can get in touch with him through his website. www.listermann.com .
