    Adding honey to an American Cream Ale

    I was horribly impatient on this batch as I wanted something ready for this weekend when I built my keezer. I'd read all the posts to let it sit, but I'm stubborn and need to learn things on my own most(all) of the time. Hopefully time will amend my mistake and I will be enjoying a good homebrew...

    Adding honey to an American Cream Ale

    At 7 days mine had a 5.9% ABV and tasted really good. I got anxious and kegged it, tried to force carb it and was not pleased with the results. Too much foam and the flavor wasn't right. It wasn't bad, just not ready. It's off co2 now and back at room temperature. I release the pressure a couple...

    Keezer in garage? Cold Weather

    Buy a dolly, that thing will pay for itself! I've got a great two wheel one with inflatable tires. There isn't an appliance that I own that I can't move safely by myself. Beats the heck out of waiting for someone to show up and help!

    Adding honey to an American Cream Ale

    You would probably want to follow the pasteurization techniques listed above. I think you also run the risk of repriming the yeast by adding that much sugar to your batch. You will be looking at a high gravity situation too. Just my thoughts, not sure exactly how it would turn out.

    Adding honey to an American Cream Ale

    Mostly true, except for Clostridium botulinum. This bacteria is the reason that it is not recommended to feed honey to infants. Under the right conditions, it can produce a toxin so potent that a thimble full could kill 2 million people. In diluted concentrations it is the active ingredient in...

    Adding honey to an American Cream Ale

    Added 2lbs of wildflower honey at flame out, then cooled about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. QS'd to 6 gallons. OG:~1.055. It's locked away in the fermenter bucket until next week when I will rack to a glass carboy. Initial taste was very sweet (duh), but the hops mellowed it out nicely. I'm excited to...

    Adding honey to an American Cream Ale

    Thanks for the advice, I will give it a go at flame out and see how it turns out. I'll try to get an update in a couple weeks at bottling.

    One brew done, one starting today.

    I got started homebrewing a little over two weeks ago. 1st brew is a Chocolate Irish Stout that is bottled and conditioning. I'm brewing my second batch today. This time, an American Cream Ale. I'm starting with kit brews, but hope to move in to all grain brewing once I can afford the equipment...
