Keg is almost gone. It was a little malty to me which hid the crispness of what I was hoping for. Batch 2 will include a drop in base malt, addition of corn flake to lighten the body more, and a slight change up in the bittering hops.
Batch 2 Brew Session

Brewed on 3/18 and overshot OG to 1.055 using the flaked corn for the first time. May need to cut back a little more on the pilsner malt and flaked corn. Will check back after kegging and tasting.
