Hey Everyone-
I'm looking at swinging by the LHBS later today for some beermakin' ingredients, and i'm wanting to do a Cream Ale. Just poking around, I've seen that 6-row helps out converting some of the adjuncts, and thought I'd try out the following for a 5.5 gal batch.
5lbs 2-Row
5lbs 6-Row
2lbs Flaked Corn
.5lb Flaked Rye (just for kicks)
Low Alpha hops-I'm leaning towards Willamette or a Noble.
either 1007 or WLP080 yeast.
Typical 60 minute, single infusion mash around 152 or so.
My main question is, is there a benefit (or would it be weird) to do the 6-Row and 2-Row the way I have it? I've never used 6 before, and figured a cream would be a good place to test it out.
Thanks in advance y'all!
