I am looking to brew a Cream Ale for my next brew, hopefully this weekend. Any suggestions for either kits or tried and true recipes?
Yes search for Cream of Three Crops here on HBT. I've never brewed it but it is somewhat absurdly well reviewed and looks to be equally absurdly cheap to brew.
Funny. I was also thinking I wanted a try a cream ale next.
But I'm still in the extract phase so... any extract recipes? (Or any advice on converting these to extract?)
Would wyeast American Ale yeast be okay each of the above recipes? I have it on hand and my LHBS is lacking in its yeast selection.
Also, they lack in hops as well, what are some possible substitutes for this style?
Sounds good. Um ... sorry if I'm hijacking the thread. Does this http://beerrecipes.org/showrecipe.php?recipeid=122
**RECIPE**
sound any good. (Or does it sound boring?) It uses rice solids which is actually an ingredient I have left over from my last batch (unless rice solids is different from rice extract) and I kinda want to use and I figure I can substitute liberty hops (which I also have extra of). The carelessness to detail kind of scares me though. (He says using malt to prime gives different bubbles but than never gives *any* instructions.)
Sorry for hijacking the thread.
What if I did a mix and match of three extract recipes?
From Beer Smith and Northern Brew I'd get the steeping grains of
3/4 lb. of Gambrinus Honey Malt
1/4 lb. of Belgian Biscuit Malt
and the hops of 1 oz. Cluster (60 min)
and from Northern Brewer and Beer Recipes.org I'd get the DME:
3.8 lbs. Extra Light Dry
1 lb. Rice
and ale yeast. And I forget the damned barley.
I wish I had found this thread earlier. I brewed a cream ale yesterday. I used the grain bill from Brewing Classic Styles with a blend of Liberty and Mt. Hood. WLP080 cream ale blend. Anybody use this yeast blend before?
>>Be sure to use rice syrup solids though, and not rice.
I'm assuming the leftover Rice Extract (Dry) from my blonde ale is the same thing as "rice syrup solids". If it isn't please let me know **now** 'cause I'm doing this in the next day or two.
