Momweiser Revisited

My second go at an American Light Lager -- 2nd time gifting the results to my Bud-luvin' mom. Instead of trying to clone Bud Light, I'm going to do an American Light Lager the way I'd "want" one. I'm scaling down the rice from 30% to 10%, upping the IBUs, boiling 90 minutes, and slipping a little continental pilsner malt and some crystal 20 into the grainbill. Maybe I can keep improving and brewing this beer for my mom and in a few years she'll be drinking good stuff!
