Nice recipe. Nice and easy lawnmower beer
It was a great tasting cream ale brew, and i also added some rasberry extract to an third of the brew.. !!yum yum !! and wife likes it too
Kit arrived well packaged and labeled. I went with the DME version, and full boil. I rushed it a little (brew day to glass in 9 days) but it came out amazing. Reminds me a lot of Spotted Cow, at least what I remember. I'm typically an all-grain brewer and steeping a pound of flaked corn without base malts seemed kinda silly it definitely shows through in the finished beer. Suspect this is also why corn sugar is added - to replicate what typically would happen in a full mash. It definitely pays off. Also, I left out a pound of DME because I wanted a lower starting gravity...1.049 and finished 1.009 with BRY-97. Had two pints and placed another order.
Nice brew kit, easy concise instructions , finished product was as described.Regards,G. Klein
Great beer. I tweaked it a little to try something different and will definitely brew it this way again.
Recommend! Made it twice. Shared with friends last weekend. Even the non-beer drinkers loved it. Ordering another kit now before the last bottles are gone!
Nice light taste could have a bit more body but a nice brew
My first batch of home brewed beer.... very tasty!!! Will make more!!!
This kit is a fantastic beer. Ive brewed it twice with great results, it hardly lasts me more than a month. It is refreshing and you can taste the corn!. I recommend this to anyone who likes crisp clean full bodied beer!
I crack the bottle as soon as it was supposed to be ready and wasn't too thrilled. I let it chill in the fridge for a week and oh man did it taste great. I got great feedback from everyone who tried it. I will definitely reorder this one.
After a week in primary, I read about a Jalepeno cream ale recipe. I roasted 4 peppers, cut them up, soaked in vodka for a hour or two, and added to primary for 2 weeks. I bottled yesterday. The uncarbed beer was drinkable right out of primary. I can hardly wait to try it in 2 weeks.
This was one of the several brews for my buddy's wedding I did. Surprising... this was one of the favorites. I can see why this made the discuss of great cream ales at the MoreBeer! warehouse. It bridged the gap of bud drinkers and craft beer. I think next time I will brew it with a fruit flavor like the laughing dogs huckleberry cream ale.
My wife and I went to a beer festival and asked how our favorite beer was made. Coffee and cream ale. So we ordered 2 of these kits. Added three cups of coffee to the fermentor just before bottling, and let it sit two weeks. Even though we tested the coffee flavor out before adding the coffee, the coffee flavor was a bit heavy so we did the next batch with 2 cups of coffee. We enjoyed the flavor so much that we ordered two more kits. My wife likes the beer without the coffee flavor as well. The second two kits accepted three pounds of malt each to raise the alcohol which added a little more sweet taste to the beer. I love the light color of this beer, and enjoy a slightly sweeter flavor from the added malt over the hoppy beers.I found a 24 oz bottle this last weekend of the coffee cream ale in the back of the fridge from about three months ago and opened it. My wife put a shot of sambuca (sambvca is a liquorish flavored liquer) into the glass and people were asking for more. It seems the longer this beer stays in the bottle, the better it gets.After I am done with my Octoberfest and Thanksgiving beers which I have brewed for a halloween party, I will be heading back to this beer.It is always nice on Halloween evening to brew up some beer in the front yard as the kids come up to trick or treat.
Do I still add another 4 oz of corn sugar before bottling even after I added 8 oz while wort was still boiling?
