Notes

1st try at a American Light Beer. Aiming for something close to Bud Light or Michelob Ultra that you can drink all day long and still walk.

Yes - I know - It’s not a real craft beer. Just a everyday drinker for the hot summer months here in Kansas.

Using a 6.5 Gal Anvil Foundry, fine crush, with a bag during mash.
