When boiling starts, remove pot from burner and slowly add 1 can (3.3lbs) of the liquid malt extract, stirring to dissolve. Return to a boil and add 1.0 oz Cascade hops, boil for 60 minutes. With 15 minutes remaining add 1 Carrageenan Tablet. With 1 minute remaining in the boil add 1.0 oz Saaz hops.
