I'm attempting a cream ale this weekend for the summer. I had never heard of cream ales until this summer but I gather they're basically pale beers brewed with ale yeast with corn. Here's a recipe I made up, is it OK or am I way off?

5 UK gallons (6 US gallons)

Maris Otter pale malt : 8.5 lb
Flaked Corn 1.5 lb
CaraPils 0.5 lb
Munich Malt 5 oz
Single Infusion @ 66C (151F)
--
Hallertau Hersbrucker : 1 oz 60 mins
Saaz : .25 oz 15 mins
--
WL Dry English Ale yeast

Any tips appreciated!
