So my little sister is graduating from the University of Michigan this year, and I wanted to bring up a special beer for her. I got the idea to make a blueberry beer and just toss a little bit of flaked maize in it so that I could call it "Maize and Blueberry" for her, but while poking around online I found this recipe:
http://www.homebrewinparadise.com/BrewRecipes/Blueberry Cream Ale.pdf
1/2 lb Light Crystal 10
1 lb Flaked Corn (Maize)
7 lbs Pale LME
1oz Hallertau Hops @60 min
1/2 oz Czech Saaz @20 min
2 pkgs dry Muntons yeast or 1 vial of Safale US 05 into primary.
1 can Oregon Fruit Puree into secondary
This sounds to exactly what I want, but because I've never made a cream ale, used maize, or even HAD a cream ale (I don't think anyway), I figured I'd run it by the community here.
I have no problems changing it up, or even moving away from a cream ale but I do want to keep some form of maize/corn in it.
Thanks!
Note: For those who don't know, Maize and Blue are the official colors of UM.
