All-Grain - AG Cream Ale

**Yooper** · 07-04-2007, 01:21 PM

Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Safale S05
Yeast Starter: No
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.052
Final Gravity: 1.008
IBU: 12.3
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 5 SRM
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 10 at 68
Additional Fermentation: Cold conditioning
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 at 55

8 pounds maris otter
1 pound flaked corn
8 ounces biscuit malt
8 ounces carapils

1 ounces hersbrucker (60)
1/2 ounce saaz (10)
1/2 ounce saaz (flameout)

Mash at 150 for 75 minutes.

Notes: This really would be best cold conditioned after carbonating. Unfortunately, my husband is drinking it as fast as I'm sticking it in the fridge. So, it's still got a bit of maltiness and perhaps some fruitiness to it- which he likes. More complex than BMC, but I think people who like BMC will like this beer.

I am sure it is delicious, but I can't help myself from thinking "cream corn ale". **shivers**

Can you taste the character of the corn or did it just lighten up the body? It sounds really good.

Makes me want to run out and mow the lawn!

There is absolutely no corn taste at all. It's just lighter bodied. It's a great lawnmower beer, I would think. (I haven't mowed grass in at least a decade- that's my least favorite household job).

Now I have this image in my brain of you sitting next to the pond drinking a cold home brew while your HWMO mows the lawn.

Yep, that pretty much covers it! I am a spoiled woman.

But something tells me you do your fair share.

The most important household task!

Oh my... I want a spouse like that.
I can hear it now. SWMBO says "Baby I'll mow the lawn for you but only if you keep brewing the beer".

Brewed this a while ago with Wyeast 1728 (Scottish Ale)...it's coming around now and is very tasty. Likely the most drinkeable beer I've brewed. Thanks!
