Hi all. Just picked up the Brewers Best American cream ale kit and was wondering some things...
First i would like to replace the corn sugar (1lb) with DME. If i replace pound for pound i will get a slightly higher sg and about the same fg, will i have any issues?
Also was considering adding vanilla bean either to the boil or to the 2ndary but unsure which would give a better flavor.
Third, i am considering using carapils and crystal 10l steeping grains 1lb of each... will this tinkering alter my cream ale out of character for the style?
