Hey Guys,
I am planning to make a 1 Gallon Cucumber Cream Ale which would probably be my last brewday in this lockdown for a while. So I am planning to use up whatever ingredients I have got left which are as follows :-
Process - BIAB
1. Pale 2-Row : 0.77lb
2. Pilsner : 0.6lb
3. Munich : 0.23lb
4. Flaked Corn (I don't have Flaked Rice!)... Will Kellogg's Unflavored Corn Flakes work?
5. Munton's Ale Yeast
6. Magnum for bittering
7. Nelson Sauvin (Not sure if I should use this)
I am planning, after due reading, to slice the cucumber into small pieces and add them in the fermenter(only primary) after 5-7 days. Can I sanitize the cucumber by boiling them in water? Also how much cucumber should I use here?
More Queries :-
1. Is it okay if I start fermentation around 65F (18C) and then increase it to 68F after 5 days?
2. I don't intend to cold crash. How can i get the clarity in the beer in that case? I don't have any fining agents other than Irish Moss.
Any help will be appreciated. Cheers
