Light beer help!!!!

[cwwillmon]

Can you not create a light beer without lagering or keeping at very low temps?? I don't have a ferm chamber and use the weather for ferm temps. My wife likes light beers and cant find a recipe that doesnt include cold chambering. Please help so I can get this chick a drink...lol created by me.

Sure, you could. Make a cream ale, and use a clean well attenuating ale yeast hopefully in the low 60s, but up to mid 60s would be ok. Then, after bottling and it carbs up, store it in the fridge as long as you can before drinking. I love a well made cream ale!

How cold can you go. A pale ale or extra pale ale could be done if you can keep the temperature below 70 degrees. Though mid sixties would be better.

What @Yooper said! Cream ale or Kolsch, keep the ABV and hops low, and let it sit for a couple of weeks at the coolest place in your house or stick it in a big tub of water. My Coors light drinkin wife and friends love em. I've actually become rather fond of them myself! Cheers [emoji482]

I do a SMASH using only Maris Otter malt and Styrian Celeia hops, and you might even be excused for thinking it's a lager, when in fact it's an ale. It's light, it's refreshing, and people who don't like really flavorful beer usually like this one. I ferment at 64 or 65 degrees.
