Description

Erik Beer was the president of the local homebrew club, DOZE, for a number of years.  During that time, he created and perfected recipes for a number of different brews, this easy-drinking Cream Ale being one of them.  Featuring a blend of Pale and Pilsener Malt with some Flaked Maize thrown in to lighten things up, this beer is sure to be a hit with everyone you share it with. (If you share it at all!).  Hopping is light on this one, but definitely enough to balance things and make this brew go down smooth.

Is the ingredient sheet accurate? I put the ingredients into BeerSmith and coming up with a 6.8% beer, 34 IBU which is out of style guidelines.
John P on Jun 10, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Hi John - What do you have your efficiency set at in BeerSmith? Our kits are typically written with a 72% brewhouse efficiency. Agreed over 1% ABV is a bit of a large gap.
Beer has been in the primary fermenter for two weeks and there is no noticeable activity. The color seems to be significantly darker then the recipe picture. Any thoughts?
Thomas Tiplady on Mar 10, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I just made a cream ale yesterday (03-10) which turned out darker, too. Not sure why. But I put Safale-05 dry yeast in it about 9pm at 67 degrees & had some activity this AM.
If you don't have activity after two weeks, try using a new packet of yeast. But going this long with no activity, may lead to contamination since the yeast activity helps hold down contamination. Don't give up after all the work when a seven dollar pack of yeast may save the day, but act quickly. GOOD LUCK!

very good beer.
I finally brewed a beer that my wife likes. finished at 6.5 ABV. Has a very light golden color, with a nice light malty flavor. Will definitely brew again.

Great Cream Ale
I honestly hadn't had a cream ale in years. They're more common in Canada (where I'm from) but you can not find them in California. This kit produced a pretty good cream ale - smooth texture, a bit of sweetness, very high drinkability. Reminded me of a Sleeman's Cream Ale (for comparability).

My father in law only likes lighter beers and loved this.

The recipe is very straight forward. Fermentation, for me, was pretty fast and aggressive (tons of krausen). Don't be worried if the wort looks darker than expected initially.

All in all a great recipe. Will be making a mental note to re-create this recipe later in the summer.

My new favorite cream ale
I bought this kit because i always have a big party at St Patricks day, and wanted something that I could dye green and not care if i have to dump it the day after. I have never really liked cream ales, they just kinda come out boring so they are great for green beer. Brewed the beer, and was blown away. I plan to keep this on my standard rotation for a while. I would definitely recommend this beer.
