This beer is smooth, packs a punch etc. I cannot say enough good about it.

Why Big Bang, brewed it for the 4th of July.

Ingredients:

2 lbs Liquid extract
3 lbs DME
1 lbs Rice extract
1 1/2 oz Willamette for bittering
1/2 oz Willamette for dry hopping aroma
American liquid Wyeast yeast

Procedure:

Boiled 1 hour OG 1.042 at 72 degrees Added dry hops 3 days later when I moved the beer to a secondary fermenter. The dry hopping gives a unique taste and the beer is already at 3-4% alcohol to protect itself from hop contamination.
