Beer Style: Cream Ale
(6A)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
Color is golden and crystal clear. After 2 weeks in the bottle it holds a snow-white head. Flavor is clean with a touch of bitterness and finishes dry (the hops linger a bit). When served very cold in a frosted glass, it is very crisp and refreshing. At 4.2% you can enjoy several with friends on a hot day without filling up. And at around $20 for 50 bottles, it's damn cheap! This is a simple and quick brew that you can play with and see results quickly. Makes a great base for berry beers (add berries at secondary and set for a full week). Hops should be cut in half for berry beers, dry Nottingham yeast will sweeten the finish.

After 60 minutes, remove from heat and strain into 2 gallons cold water in a sanitized fermentor.
