I just finished brewing this up. Used Golden Promise instead of US 2-Row. Used 1oz Cascade at 60 minutes, 1oz Cascade at 5 minutes. Ended up with 6.5 gallons at 1.042. Gonna be drinking it in 5 weeks with family.
I like using Hallertau for cream and blonde ales - lighter beers like this. You can plug the amounts, AA% and boil time into BeerSmith or one of the other calculators to figure out how to hit the IBU level you want.
How long should the US 05 take to krausen? About 4 hours after pitching I had patches begin to form (Saturday Night). All of Sunday I had about a fist sized portion on top and today I have 2fists in size but its running verticly down the side about 12 inches. Looks like an iceberg.
has anyone ever tried this beer with pilsner malt instead of two row? Also what about lagering it with nottingham or kolsch yeast.
Brewed this today and forgot to add the minute rice after I got the two row and corn from BMW...whoops. Realized it right when I finished sparging. Missed my gravity by a few points but went ahead with the brew anyways. Anybody else make the same mistake before? How'd it turn out? Thanks.
You won't know the difference not having brewed it yet. It'll be just fine.

I have my second batch of Cream of Three Crops in the primary since June 6th. I am going out off town on the 25th through July 3rd. do I bottle Weds the 23rd at day 17 or do I transfer to secondary and wait til I get home on July 3rd to bottle. I am leaning towards racking and waitning. What does anyone else think?
I'm the dope who forgot to add rice to his recipe that posted a while back. This finished really dry @ 1.008. I've never had a beer get that low before so I even checked the calibration on my refractometer using distilled water, and then used the morebeer spreadsheet brix to FG calculator to make sure my math was right. It tastes okay before carbing it up. Anybody know if the lack of rice would cause it to finish so dry? It did start lower due to lacking the rice, but I didn't think the OG necessarily affected the FG on a beer. Thanks.
