Cream Ale Recipe
This is a very simple, inexpensive cream ale recipe that will get every BMC drinker in the room enjoying homebrew. So named because of the three different crops that go into the grist (Barley, Corn and Rice).
I brewed up 10 gallons of this and after kegging, bottled up a case to take to a family event (Mothers Day). Even my 78-yr old FIL, who is strict Miller Lite drinker, ended up having two pints. The chics dug it and we ran out well before the end of the evening.
The grain bill is cheap and in this case, you can use Minute Rice instead of flaked rice. No step mashing required. Simply combine the ingredients and follow a simple single infusion mash at around 152 degrees. I also mashed this for 90 minutes to get a highly attenuated beer. FG was 1.005...leaving a very dry, crisp beer with no noticeable graininess.
While this doesn't adhere to the strict beer laws, and I don't consider this one of my "craft" efforts, it is without a doubt the beer that I get the most "you really made this beer?" comments.
So if you've got some hard core "If it ain't Budweiser it ain't beer…" drinking friends…give this a try.
This beer clears up quickest of any of my recipes.

| Notes: This is awesome, maybe next time reduce IBU SLIGHTLY early in boil, may be a tiny bit lighter colous 1 at most. Very tiny bit sweeter maybe extra Cara malt. To Reduce amount of different grains could lose Cara red and crystal. Perhaps increase rye up to 7% |
