Well, i guess all that really needs to be said here has been said. Malt liquor is good.

Thanks

Which reminds me...

I’ve been thinking about brewing a Malt Liquor, so how does this look:

Olde Fortan Malt Liquor
"Olde Fortan" is the malt liquor from Futurama.

I’m looking for some guidance because there doesn’t seem to be a lot of Malt Liquor recipes available. Probably because it’s not a BJCP-recognized style?

My plan for this brew is to make a sort of "Imperial American Lager." I decided to use 2-row rather than Pilsner malt, in keeping with the low-cost ingredients that probably go in commercial versions. Ironically, the adjuncts actually drive my price up. Hopefully, the addition of some six-row will add slightly more hull mass along with adding diastic power. I expect to do a fairly large cereal mash (about 20% of the total grist).

For bitterness, I’m shooting for IBU just above the bittering levels of a BJCP Premium American Lager, because I’m expecting higher sweetness from a higher FG here.

If that’s your attitude, why brew any beer? Stores are stocked full of craft beer...

Molson XXX is the answer you are looking for.
