How did it go?
I am interested if you get the same results with grits as flaked corn.

Gravity was low. I used regular rice and should have cooked it first. I think we ended up at 1.032.
We'll see in a few weeks. Also, I am having temp troubles. Need to work out a fern chamber on this heat. I am having trouble keeping it below 78.
msa8967 said:You can get the temp lower by building a cheap swamp cooler. Find a plastic tub that your primary will fit into and fill it 1/2 way with water. Set your primary into the tub and drape several towels (wet) over the top with the ends hanging in the water. Add ice or cold packs to the water as needed. I have found that this makes a very big difference with this recipe.

I have read a lot of this thread throughout the last couple months here and there and have even brewed this beer 2! Great stuff! just wondering for those that have brewed with Kolsch and safale-us 05, which do you prefer of the two?
Thanks so much! Recipe is great!

Cream Ale Recipe
This is a very simple, inexpensive cream ale recipe that will get every BMC drinker in the room enjoying homebrew. So named because of the three different crops that go into the grist (Barley, Corn and Rice).
I brewed up 10 gallons of this and after kegging, bottled up a case to take to a family event (Mothers Day). Even my 78-yr old FIL, who is strict Miller Lite drinker, ended up having two pints. The chics dug it and we ran out well before the end of the evening.
The grain bill is cheap and in this case, you can use Minute Rice instead of flaked rice. No step mashing required. Simply combine the ingredients and follow a simple single infusion mash at around 152 degrees. I also mashed this for 90 minutes to get a highly attenuated beer. FG was 1.005...leaving a very dry, crisp beer with no noticeable graininess.
While this doesn't adhere to the strict beer laws, and I don't consider this one of my "craft" efforts, it is without a doubt the beer that I get the most "you really made this beer?" comments.
So if you've got some hard core "If it ain't Budweiser it ain't beer " drinking friends give this a try.
This beer clears up quickest of any of my recipes.
