Ingredients:





 3 1/3 lb Plain light malt extract


 2 1/4 lb Maltose


   3/4 oz Cascade hops (boil)


   3/4 oz Cascade hops (finish)


          Cultured Sierra Nevada


          Yeast






 The  maltose is a cheap rice-malt mix obtainable from oriental  markets.


 Boil malt, hops, and maltose in 2-1/2 gallons of cold water. In last   2


 minutes,  add the finishing hops. The yeast was cultured from a   bottle of


 Sierra Nevada pale ale. By the next day, the yeast did not  seem  to start,


 so I added a packet of Vierrka lager yeast. Rack  to   secondary after one


 week. After another week, prime with 3/4 cup corn  sugar  and bottle. Color


 similar to any American lager. Tastes much better,  very  mellow. The goal


 was to brew 5 gallons of beer while only spending  $10.  This came to about


 $11. I'm not sure what drives me to such frugalness,  but having grown up


 with American beer, sometimes I would rather  have   it with certain foods,


 like pizza. Original Gravity: 1.038 Final Gravity: 1.006 Primary Ferment:
