Just throwing this out there to see what people think. I want it a little cleaner tasting but want to stay in the style so using 1/2 corn, 1/2 rice. I'm not a huge fan of lighter beers either and like my IPA's, porters and stouts, but I've been requested to make an introductory beer for friends and family that might not be able to appreciate the finer beers.

OG: 1.051
IBU: 19.2
Color: 3.5
Est ABV: 5.3%
Batch size 6 gal

4.5 lbs Pale Malt
4.5 lbs Pilsner
1 lb Rice, flaked
1 lb Corn, flaked
1.25 oz Willamette - 60 min (4.3%)
0.75 oz Willamette - 5 min (4.3%)

90 min boil, mash at 150
Ferment 2 weeks at 62.
Rogue Pacman yeast - mainly because I have it on hand, but its also ferments at lower temps for ale yeast, highly attenuating, floculant and pretty neutral and clean. Have used it in the past with IPA's, APA's and stouts with good success.
Keg and carb at 2.6
