So, I am thinking of making a Cream Ale for the Summer time
Cream ale just sounds good and I love a good creamy Key Lime Pie, wanted to do something unique, perfect combination Key Lime Cream Ale!
Here is what I am thinking for the recipe...let me know if you have suggestions, tweaks, and if you would like to give it a try.
Steep
.5 lb of Crystal 10L
.5 lb of Flaked Oats
Malts
5 pounds extra light (pilsner) DME
1 pounds light wheat DME
Extras
@ 15 minutes 4 ounces of lactose
@ 15 minutes 1 Whirlfloc tab
@ 1 minute 3 ozs of Key Lime Juice
Hops
.5 oz Cascade bittering (60 minutes)
.5 oz Cascade flavor (20 minutes)
Yeast
White labs WLP080- Cream Ale Yeast Blend
Add to Secondary
Zest of 5 Key Limes
Juice from 5 Key Limes
1 Vanilla bean sliced and placed in a little vodka
Priming
1cup Lactose
1.5 cups light DME
Thoughts?
