Chuck's Limp Wrist Lager
Standard American Lager • All Grain • 5 gal
This is a variation of Charlie Papazian's "Un-American Lite Lager" recipe of about 1984. I entered it in the Winterfest beer judging of Jan/20/1991 in Las Vegas where it won second best of show and best of show for all grain category. I still like to brew this one for the summer time "lawn mowing" refreshment. It is truly an oldie but goodie brew. Enjoy! clearprop@coinet.com
