---------------
Charisma Cream Ale base - From Great Fermentations:
Suggested Mash Temperature: Suggested Mash Temperature:
A lower mash temperature is recommended to create a light, easy drinking beer. We suggest a mash
temperature of 148° - 150°F.
Fermentation Schedule: Fermentation Schedule:
We recommend a primary fermentation of two weeks at 58° - 68°F. A secondary fermentation can be used to improve clarity and reduce sedimentation, if desired.
