Looks like I found what I was looking for. I am going to brew this up in a week or two, after my current ingredients are used up.. Are the pics ready yet? I am thinking about splitting a batch in half and start experiementing with jalapenos.

I have to say "Thank you". First for reminding me about pictures and secondly for reminding me that I haven't had one of these in a while. Cracked one open tonight to get a picture and am on my second! AWESOME!

I think you'll really like this brew and I'd be interested to hear how the jalapeno batch turns out! Please let me know...I might give that a shot if it turns out good!

Any thoughts on how this would turn out with oats instead of corn?

fuller bodied.

I just brewed this again for the first time in over a year. This time I'm trying it with WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast Blend instead of the 1056. I'm very interested to see how this changes it. I'll post to let you know.

How did the cream ale yeast work out? Just brewed a similar 10g recipe and used cream ale yeast in one and pacific ale in the other.

Sorry for the slow response...I actually REALLY liked the WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast Blend. I expected it to be a little "cleaner" than it was with the 1056. It was a little crisper and dryer with the WLP080.
