Tasting Notes
Great lawn mower beer.. This has gone over well with everyone who has tried it.
This is sort of a rip off from Northern Brewer's cream ale. I added a pound of corn sugar and increased the boil to 75 minutes.

Ingredients

Amount Item Type % or IBU
=====================================
7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 77.78 %
0.75 lb Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) Grain 8.33 %
0.25 lb Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) Grain 2.78 %
1.00 oz Cluster [5.00 %] (60 min) Hops 21.3 IBU
1.00 lb Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 11.11 %
1 Pkgs SafAle American Ale (DCL Yeast #S-05) Yeast-Ale

Mash @ 150 for 60 min.
Double batch sparge, equal amounts.(no mashout)
Add corn sugar.
Boil for 75 minutes.
1 oz cluster @ 60 min.
Cool wort to 68*F
Pitch yeast, aerate and ferment at 68*F
I primary for 10 days then transfer to secondary, add gelatin and cold crash at around 41*F for 10 days.
I carbonate sort of high. After a week on the gas it is ready to drink!
Enjoy!
