I made this up last weekend and it seemed to turn out pretty well, so I thought I'd share. The name, BTW, is shamelessly ripped of from Ray Stevens, a really funny comedian-singer.

This recipe was originally "Australian Spring Snow Golden Lager" a la Papazian, but when I got to the supply store, I found that I needed to come up with a variant recipe or try something else. I tasted some when bottling, and it turned out pretty good. I'll let you know how it does in the bottle...

Ingredients:

3.3 lbs Australian lager malt extract (hopped)
3.3 lbs Australian plain light malt extract (unhopped)
1 oz. Fuggles hops (boiling)
0.5 oz Cascade hops (boiling)
0.5 oz Cascade hops (finishing)
1pkg. Superbrau yeast
3/4cup Corn Sugar for bottling

Specifics:

O.G.: 1.050
