If there is an extract version posted, I'm sorry, I couldn't find it. A friend of mine is a Mr. Beer brewer and is interested in expanding his horizons, but not yet ready to make the full jump into all grain. Here is an extract version of the Cream of Three Crops recipe I came up with for him and am looking for a little feedback. My goal is to keep the ABV under 5%. I was also thinking maybe just doing a mini-mash with the corn, rice, and maybe 2lbs of 2-row. I'm using the Kolsch yeast only because I have it on hand, but could use US-05 if anyone thinks it would make a difference for the better.
