    Fine-Tuning The Cream Ale

    Also I just realized that made no sense haha. I guess I am just using the corn sugar for the sake of having some more sugar. My buddy Tom gave me the base recipe.

    Fine-Tuning The Cream Ale

    I am not entirely sure...I guess you'll get good attenuation out of the yeast but I would imagine that you'll get more a blonde mouthfeel out of the beer.

    bananas & peanut butter elvis beer

    Hey! I know this is an old thread but I live a town over (Quincy) @scinerd3000 and I am gonna take a crack at a Fat Elvis stout based on where your recipe started and kind of play around with it (I want to make it an imperial stout although a dunkelweisen is also a very attractive option).
