American Lite Ale HBL 5 Gal Extract Recipe Kit

A lite beer similiar to the major American brands. Not much flavor, not much bitterness, not much of anything to tell you the truth. However, sometimes that is exactly what we are looking for. A good beer for general mass-consumption. Uses dry rice extract as part of the base.

• 4 lbs Ultralight Malt Extract LME
• 2 lbs Dried Rice Extract
