CALL IT AN AMERICAN LAGER OR A PRE PROHIBITION BEER... OR A MALT LIQUOR... ITS ALL THE SAME TO ME... JUST DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF GREAT AMERICAN BEER...A VERY GOOD MALT LIQUOR...MALT AND CORN NOTES...I USE CORN MEAL OR GRITS AND I GRIND LONG GRAIN RICE..THEN DO A CEREAL MASH AND ADD THAT TO MAIN MASH AFTER I COOK CEREAL FOR ABOUT 25 MINS.. .VERY CLOSE TO MICKEYS BUT HAS MORE FLAVOR.. I FERMENT IN PRIMARY ONLY... 62 f.. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO A 3 DAY REST AT 70 F AFTER FERMENTATION IS COMPLETE...THEN COLD CRASH FERMENTER FOR 3 TO 5 DAYS THEN BOTTLE...ROOM TEMP NO HIGHER THAN 72 F FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS AFTER BOTTLING..THEN LAGER BOTTLES IN THE FRIDGE FOR A WEEK BEFORE DRINKING.. IF YOU KEEP FERMENTATION TEMP RIGHT YOU WILL HAVE AN EXCELLENT BEER IN THIS STYLE...
