Here you go:

I haven't tried this myself, but according to a couple of posts on 
Macintouch, after you have captured the installer:

4/29/2014
<http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/mavericks/topic5002-013.html#d29apr2014>
You can remove the Apple ID information from any App Store file by 
control-clicking the installer or the app to view the contents and then 
deleting the file "_MASReceipt", after which the Store will not ask for 
the Apple ID. The downside of doing that is that it may not recognize 
software you have purchased as yours and will not provide normal updates.

or

However, I have found that you can change the Apple ID during the 
installation process. Once the computer has rebooted into the freshly 
installed OS, you have to go through the initial setup (select country 
and keyboard layout, create computer account, etc.). Once you get to the 
step to create your user account, click on the back button. This takes 
you to a screen to sign in with your Apple ID.
