Notes

This is a hybrid between a California Common and a Cream Ale brewed in a Farmhouse style. I only had German ingredients at the time, but you could use US 2-row or 6-row. It was designed to ferment around 70F so I could leave it unattended for two weeks.

Add debittered black at mash out as it is just for more red color.
