Founding Fathers Lager

Lite American Lager • Extract • 5 gal

Founding Father

This is a light beer that imitates American beers. It resembles Miller Lite but with a higher alcohol content due to the use of rice syrup. It is a relatively easy recipe, and it yields a beer that satisfies most palates.
