American-Style Lager recipe for 5 gallons

5 lb extra-light malt extract
2 lb brewer's rice syrup or brewer's corn syrup
1 oz Hallertau hops, 60 minutes before end of boil
American pilsener lager yeast
¾ corn sugar

Dissolve extracts in three gallons of warm water and bring to a boil. Add extract and boil 60 minutes. Transfer to fermenter with enough cold water to make five gallons. Cool to 55°F, aerate, and add yeast. Ferment at 50-55°F for two weeks or until finished. Lager 3-4 months at 32-35°F. Dissolve corn sugar into finished beer, bottle, and store at room temperature for two or three weeks, then chill and enjoy.

Note: Regular supermarket corn syrup, as one might use for baking, is not appropriate for this beer. Pure corn or rice syrup intended for brewing is usually available at homebrew shops.
