The recipe I'm about to describe is a Standard American Lager extract recipe that uses an Extra Light DME base and some Crystal 10L steeping grains for head retention. This style of beer has little to no malt aroma and a light floral or spicy hopping, in keeping with this style I have selected Willamette hops for bitterness, flavor and aroma.
I used qBrew's default 'Standard American Lager' style guidelines to crunch the recipe's numbers. You can download the October 2010 qBrew database below and use it to upgrade your current ingredient database, this latest database includes more yeast, fruits, extracts and other useful entries then ever before.
