Here's mine. I just opened the tap for it on my kegerator. I'm pretty sure it will be even clearer once more yeast is purged. Lightest beer I've made yet. I tweaked it a little since I used hops on hand and reduced the corn by a half pound since I've read BierMuncher say in a later post that he reduced the corn amount. Kinda wish I'd kept the extra half pound in. Came out pretty good, just feel mine came out too light and kinda watery even though it's 5% abv. However, at the time I'd not yet had a pH meter and now do and know that my pH is too high for lighter ales. I'm guessing the mash pH for this one was probably in the 5.8-5.9 range. I'm now correcting the pH going forward starting with my next brew. Could a high pH make the taste a bit more watery? I'm guessing since it's probably more alkaline and not acidic enough the tartness that would typically be in such a beer just isn't there? Anyhow, it's still a nice beer, a total thirst question that I think any non-beer drinker could enjoy. Mine tastes just ever so slightly sweet with a slight citrus taste, could 1/4oz of Cascade give that? Here's the recipe I brewed:
5 Gallon batch
5 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 68.8 %
1 lbs 8.0 oz Corn, Flaked (1.3 SRM) Grain 2 18.8 %
1 lbs Rice, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 3 12.5 %
1.00 oz Saaz [3.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 11.8 IBUs
0.25 oz Cascade [6.20 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 5.2 IBUs
1 pkg Safale US05
Mash was 150.8. Fermented around 68 simply due to the warmer temps where I ferment in the house at that time of year.
The only other aspect is the grains were sitting in the fridge for something like 6-8 months (uncrushed). Would that long a time be too long for flaked corn/rice?
