Has anyone ever made this brew?
I have one to put down with Brewcraft brewblend no. 20 that is suppose to give me a Czech Budweiser clone. Guess I'll put this down with the Czech Budejovice yeast I have.
Does anyone know what is in Brewblend 20????
Thanks guys.

Hi Wassa,
I haven't made the Brewcraft Czech pilsner, but I know somebody who swears by it.
I think #20 brew enhanser is also described as the "malt plus booster," and has a mixture of malt, glucose and corn syrup. I used it when making the Brewcraft Kilkenny recipe, but since it's the only time ive used #20 or Muntons Yorkshire bitter, I can't comment on the flavours contributed by the #20 on its own.

I left my fermenter in my other pants

there's a thread here somewhere about what's in the various blends etc. from the notes I took at the time of reading that thread I think #20 contains 500g LDM, 250g Maltodex & 250g Dex.
I have a receipe for budweiser in my 'brews to do' book that I think I got from the brewcraft website that included the Czech pilsner, #20, saflager and 10g saaz hops.
Not sure I'll ever get round to this one. I think I am having a change of mindset from reading the posts in this forum. I started out trying to replicate commercial brews but now I'm thinking "why would you do that??"
You make home brew so you can make the calls about how your beer tastes...not so you can copy someone else's ideas on how to make a mass produced bottle of watery piss!
One of my home brew goals is to make a nice 're-doable' pilsner, but who gives a crap whether it tastes like budweiser or not!!

All right, brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you, but just get me through this, and I can get back to killing you with beer. - H Simpson.
I agree with you Ernie, that's what I do, but I was given the makings (except the Budejovice yeast that I bought for another Pilsner) and told that's what it's suppose to make so thought I'd give it a go.
As long as it's a good Pilsner and doesn't turn out like American Bud, I'll drink it.

Jeez, I just re-read my post. Got a bit carried away there! - I was sober too...
Wassa, my humblest apologies if I have cast any aspersions upon your brewing credo...
must learn to use those smiley-face thingos.

You will not find out exactly what is in the Brewcraft enhancer kits!!!
It is part of brewcraft marketing. Buy selling these brew blends and brew enhancers and not telling you what is in it you are forced to go back to them if you want to repeat the brew.
They seem very disinterested in helping brewers learn how to make good beer and what goes into making different styles or the effects of different fermentables on your beer. All they care about is getting you to come back (as most stores do); however, instead of giving good advice and service they have their secret brew blends and enhancers.
