Beer Style: Cream Ale  (6A)
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 US gallons

Cream Ale

Description:

My twist on a traditional cream ale. Honey adds depth of flavor and a hint of sweetness. The use of Kolsch yeast over American Ale provides a slight fruitiness profile that pairs well with the honey. A light and refreshing ale and more complex than my other cream ale post (Lucky Fish Cream Ale). Recommend fermentation at the higher end of the temperature spectrum to take full advantage of the Kolsch yeast profile.

Procedure:

Mash Profile: Single Infusion/Batch Sparge. Heat 3.75 gal of water to 162.5F to obtain a sparge temp of 152.0F. Mash for one hour then drain. Heat 4.5 gal of water to 177.0F to obtain a batch sparge temp of 165.0F. Mash for 15 min and drain till you collect a total of 6.5 Gal of wort. Heat to boiling. At first sign of boiling add 1oz Cascade hops. Brew for one hour. With 2 min remaining (T2), add remaining hops. I also add Irish Moss with 15 min to go (T15) to help with protein break/clarify the beer.
