WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Added 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract

Beer notes:

(2 weeks after bottling)
-the beer still has a semi strong corny smell 

  *boil for 75 minutes to get rid of<br />
   excess DMS on next brew<br />

-Head retention is lacking. Carbonation is good

  *Add a bit of Carapils for head<br />
   retention on next brew<br />


!*I enjoy the slight "grain" taste which has been smoothed over with the vanilla. Ensure to boil for 75 minutes to decrease DMS and get rid of the corn aroma. Otherwise, a decent cream ale that would be a good summertime staple.
