Cream Ale Cream of Three Crops (Cream Ale)

[AR-Josh]

My experience has been 4-5 weeks in the bottle it'll go from green beer to finished beer rather dramatically.

YMMV depending on OG and yeast strain/pitch rate.

Awesome thanks!!! I have enough for two batches this summer. I'm going to do one with Kolsch and one with American Ale yeast.

Can not wait to brew this one!!

Is it possible to find Flaked Corn at the Grocery store? I already have the 2row, hops, and yeast so it would be nice if I could avoid another trip to the home brew shop and just stop by the grocery store to get flaked corn and rice

Doing the finishing touches to my new electric brew rig. This will be my first all grain attempt. Trying to convert my 23 year old son from Bud Light, thinking this will do it. Getting the camlocks from Bobby at brew hardware, then I'll be ready to brew. Any tips to help the day go smooth?

Have a homebrew!

My homebrew shop is closer than the grocery store.

I'm not sure if your grocery store will have any mine doesn't. Just corn flakes. And I don't think that will work

I don't think you can use corn flakes. Flaked corn looks different then corn flakes. I think people have used instant grits instead of flaked corn though.

Corn flakes like the cereal? Def not.

I was there twice this week already and I live in LA so traffic is hell, especially trying to get there on a friday evening. Looks like I will be going there anyways though since the store most likely has no flaked corn. Though using corn flakes is very tempting all though Im sure it will produce different results

Corn flakes have been used by a lot of people

You're kidding me.. really? Man my sarcasm has superseded my personal knowledge.

LOL. Really?!?!

I may try frosted flakes tomorrow. Thanks for the funny before I prepare for 20 gallons this weekend.

 

[orion7144]

Not frosted just corn flakes

Hi.. I am still new into home brew. Can anyone help to provide the recipe in a 20L brew?

Hi.. I am still new into home brew. Can anyone help to provide the recipe in a 20L brew?

20L = 5.3 gallons so I'd just use the 5.5gallon recipe listed earlier in this thread:

5.5lbs Pale Malt (2-row)
2.5lbs Flaked Corn
1lbs Flaked Rice (or Minute Rice)

.5oz Willemette (60min)
.5oz Crystal (60min)

Everything else should be the same (90min mash @152, 90min boil).

If someone wants to double check that, I'd appreciate it. Im on my phone and I'm working from memory.

Assuming that's correct I'm actually brewing this today! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

That's correct. And at 5.3 gallon instead of 5.5 the difference is negligible.

This is my summer go to beer and I have no clue how many batches I have brewed. I have 3 batches in various stages right now getting ready for this summer and can not wait to start drinking them

Hehe matter of fact I am helping a buddy move today so I am thinking I will go ahead and take a case over even though there is still snow going on

 

[chrislzh]

Thanks for the conversion. Really appreciate that. I will plan and get ready to start this brew soon

 

[AVLbrewing]

Mashing my 5.5gal batch now! Time to enjoy some homebrew!

 

[PapaFoxtrot]

Bottled 5 gallons of this brew this afternoon. This time I used three additions of Centennial spreading one ounce over 60, 15 and 5 minutes. The hydro sample tasted great!

 

[AVLbrewing]

Had a pleasant brew day yesterday. No major problems. Mash temps held fine, had an OG of 1.048, and the airlock is bubbling this morning!

 

[PapaFoxtrot]

This brew is amazing. Just 24 hours in the bottle and already dropping clear!



Don't worry about the clear bottle. I've got a few I use so I can see the beer as it clears. I condition in a basement storage room. Kept dark at 65deg and lit by only one incandescent 60w light bulb while I'm in there.

Any advise on which yeast to use

 

[chrislzh]

Need some help here from singapore.

In singapore there is no flake rice or minute rice. Is there any substitute for it?

Pretty sure you can just use cooked rice.

Hi Rossi46. Thanks for the recommendation. So do I put in the cooked rice or uncooked rice grains?

Cook it before you put it in the mash.

 

[Varmintman]

Not just cooked rice but gelatainized rice. You have to cook the ever loving crap out of it. I did it once and figured it was much easier using instant rice

As far as yeast goes I used coopers forever with this but just switched to notty for a batch and am going to use that now. Nice clean tasting yeast.
