Notes

Treads the fine line between a hoppy Classic Amercian Pilsner (minus the maize) and California Common. Don't skip the 6Row malt as it gives a nice grainy bite which complements the 15 and 0 min hops additions. Primary 21 days at room temp (the last 14 or so w/ dry hops), then 30-45 days in the keg at fridge temps.

Yes, it is a little light in terms of SRM for the style. No, it's not an Anchor Steam clone. Keg it with a few ounces of dissolved DME for natural priming, chill for a month or so, then push it with CO2. On my house tap, it's just called "beer" because it's nothing more or less. Serve in a frosty mug w/ wings or pizza. Bronze Medal the the 2013 CO State Fair.
