Notes

An ale version of the light, fizzy American lager style, cream ale is a specialty of the eastern US. This Cream Ale is medium-light bodied and smooth, gold in color and low in bitterness; the specialty grain blend adds some complexity with a clean, sweet malt profile and a hint of buttered toast in the aroma and flavor. A homebrewed "lawnmower beer” is pretty hard to beat as a summertime thirst-quencher. Can be ready in as little as two weeks if keg priming. Chug-a-lug!

1 week primary, 1 week secondary, 1 week conditioning.

Liquid Yeast Option: Wyeast 1056 American Ale.

Make 1L starter. Use 2 lbs flaked corn to boost OG.
