So, I've recently crossed over to all-grain brewing and just love the cream ale style. Well, let's say I love the "American" Cream Ale style. Essential when I think cream ale I think, "Smooth, Creamy, Sweet." Not that that's the BJCP guidelines, but hey, it's an American Cream! I'll be taking a shot at brewing a "Pumpkin Cream." I'll look to use maybe 60% 2-r0w, 30% Bonlander, and the rest a combination of Carapils and a light Caramel. I'm thinking Saaz hops as a primarily bittering unit with a combination of Brown sugar, sugar pumpkins, Cinnamon, All Spice, Nutmeg, Coriander, and Vanilla. I'm not quite sure what to use in terms of yeast though, any suggestions for yeast or anything else in this rough "recipe." Also, I'm not sure about measurements for a 5 gallon batch (this includes the pumpkin and spices...)
