Thinking S-05 yeast and mashed @ 150

Goal is a light easy drinking summer beer. Might lager for a few weeks before tapping

Looks good, except I would add some flaked oats/barley/rye for some mouthfeel. I've also used White Labs Cream Ale Yeast Blend which is a blend of ale and lager yeasts. It worked pretty well, even for the hoppy pale ale that I made.

Might add some flaked barley or carapils. thanks!

for my palette, it looks awfully hoppy, but that is just a personal preference. i just started drinking my cream ale that used about 1/2 ounce northern brewer hops for flavor at 10mins and am floored with the result.

I'm still tinkering with the hops.

even a small amount of hops really come through in a cream/blonde ale
