hey guys, my gears have been turning over the last few days here and i am looking at doing a 10 gal batch of cream ale...partitioned off into 4 different ''test'' brews
i am looking for a recipe...since i have never brewed a cream ale (im mostly IPA stout and porter) i dont know what to look for...also, im not all that technical as to know which malts do exactly what so bare with me.
i would like a nice, smooth...sweet and full bodied brew...i say sweet because i have a couple things im trying that will need a sweet and creamy ale...
so far i have a butter pecan cream ale, orange creamcicle ale and black cherry pie ale...the 4th partition is just for drinking.
so what should i be looking for here? i dont really have a specific grain bill made yet but i will put it up asap.
OR
am i barking up the wrong tree? would something else work better for me? maybe an english mild with lactose added?
thanks
Nick
