Critique my simple all grain cream ale plan.

[centsworth_II]

I just started brewing using stove top, grain in bag method (2.5-3 gal batches). I really like it! I have two pale ales in primary now and want to try a cream ale for my wife.

My pale ales used a basic 5 lb 2 row American pale malt, half pound crystal recipe with variations in crystal and hops. I'd like to change that as little as possible to get a cream ale. Here's my plan:
-------------------------------
4 lb 2 row American malt
1 lb flaked corn

mash one hour at 150 degrees.
batch sparge in the bag.
boil one hour with 0.25 oz magnum pellets
3 gal batch

Ferment with Fermentis dry American ale yeast at 65 to 70 degrees.
-------------------------------
Rather than the magnum, I might use Cascade, 0.33 oz each at 60, 15, and 1 min. for some hop flavor. (Actually I'd like to try both but one can only mix up so many batches!)

Any obvious flaws in this plan?

The great part about beer... Is no matter what its still going to be beer! Everyone has diffrent taste buds, what i like is diffrent from what you like.

With that being said.

The only flaw i see is that its going to be ONLY a 3gal batch. That beer is going to go too fast.

I agree...alot of work for a little beer. I'm ready for it to warm up so I can do ten gallon batches and cut down on some of the work and double my reward.

If it was my recipe id cut the corn in half cause i think it can be over powering in the flavor dept but thats just my taste , on the other hand i love magnum. Just my 2 cents!
