Notes

Premium American Adjunct Lager made with American 2-row, flaked corn and some Carapils for body. Somewhat modeled after Mickey's. At the high end for the style range, may bump up corn to 18 lbs for this batch, which would put final ABV around 6%. A bit higher hopping rate, somewhat similar to a pre-Prohibition lager.
