I bottled my Cream Ale last week and it's carbing nicely but I can't tell if I made an error either by not being through in my sanitation practices and introducing an infection or by adding too much flaked corn to my recipe.
Flaked corn made up about 8% of the grain bill and I know it's only been a week since bottling, but does anyone have any thoughts? I'm thinking the corny/buttery flavor is due to the corn (my first attempt using such an adjunct) and it will probably become more subtle with aging.
4 lb. German Pilsner
.75 lb. German Vienna
.50 lb. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils)
.50 lb. Flaked corn
.50 lb. Flaked rice
.30 oz. Perle (7.6% AA, 60 min.)
.25 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (3.3% AA, 30 min.)
.50 oz. Saaz (3.5% AA, 30 min.)
.25 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (3.3% AA, 5 min.)
.25 oz. Saaz (3.5% AA, 5 min.)
.25 oz. Saaz (aroma)
