Friday the 13th Export Ale

This is one of the first lighter coloured ales I am attempting to do. I have been doing a lot of dark beer so I want to try and work on my skills with lighter coloured beer.

Ingredients:

• 3 kg (6.6 lb) Light Malt Extract
  
• 225 g (0.5 lb) Flaked Maize

• Removed maize once water started boiling, added light malt extract and brought water back to a boil.
• 50 min: Boil began, added hops.

Bottling (07.08.01):
