Pics or it didn't happen
Fermentables and Mash
65% base malt (12.25 lbs)
20% Blue Cornmeal (4 lbs)
15% six-row malt (3 lbs)
Disclaimer- If you've needed rice hulls in the past, this beer won't be an exception. The cereal mash gets sticky!
Easy cereal mash- I'm not sure it this is the best way, but it's how I do things.
Boil
12.5 gallons of 1.042 wort.
60 min hop addition- 1 ounce of belma at 10.6% AA
Belma is my favorite hop for blonde and Cream ale. Fruit character comes through the whole way from just the one addition, very cool. I also think that huell melon could be good, or NZ/AUS hops with a fruit character.
This beer is a true joy to both make and drink. the wort is an intense ruby red grapefruit pink color that fades to a cool gold with purple highlights over the course of fermentation. If you don't look for the color, you don't notice it but when I tell people to look for blue, its like its all they can see.
Here's a recipe for those interested. It is a favorite of mine and I'm happy to share it with y'all.

- take a gallon of your strike water and heat it until it boils on the stove
- remove from heat and thoroughly whisk in the blue corn meal
- simmer until you hit a hot cereal/oatmeal/cooked consistency
- Allow to cool to 160 degrees F
- mix in all the six row malt and hold at temperature while you heat the main mash strike water
- dough in the main mash of the two-row malt
- add the cereal mash to your tun and continue as usual with the brewday, your combined mash temp should be 150 degrees F
