This is my next recipe. I used a partial mash recipe posted on beertools.com by member "Vista" as the basis for this recipe.
Honey Cream Ale
0.75-lbs Crystal Malt
1.00-lbs Pale Malt
3.00-lbs. Muntons Extra Light DME
1.00-lb. Muntons Light DME
0.50-lbs Flaked Maize
0.75-oz. Spalt pellets boiled for 1-hour
0.50-oz. Cascade pellets boiled for 30-minutes
1.00-lb. Clover Honey boiled for 15-minutes
1-pack Nottingham dry yeast
I havent really delved into the scientific aspects of brewing, but I want this to be a refreshing summer brew, not hoppy or too heavy.
Some questions:
Im a little unsure of my hop choices for this as they are what I have on hand and my local homebrew store doesnt have much else for a light beer. Do you think they are good choices, or should I adjust my recipe?
Also, Ive never used adjuncts like corn. Should I steep the maize with my grains, should I boil it with the wort, or should I steep it separately and add it directly to the cooled wort when I pitch yeast? Or something else?
What do you think?
