It doesn't taste anything like corn, but it definitely tastes like corn beer.

I don't see how you avoid liquid entering that way. I could are a balloon with no liquid, though, if it's big enough.

In other words, they are the ale version of the American lager.

Don't know the origin of the name, but they take and feel like a BMC.

I think it needs more lemon and less sugar than suggested, but I really enjoyed the batch I made anyway.

If you leave it mashing overnight, there's a good chance it will break too much of the sugar down to fermentable size.

Mashing overnight is okay in certain circumstances, I've definitely considered it. A low body beer like this, probably fine. One with lots of body, though, I wouldn't suggest that.

Okay, so I'll definitely up the smoked malt. How about the rye for a not-overly-power rye flavor?

Okay, well, I can add more smoked malt. I just had thought that in something as light as a cream ale, if I wanted a subtle flavor, 3% of the grain bill would be enough to do it. It's Briess malt, and they sell it as "smoked malt," but MoreBeer sells the Briess product as "Cherrywood Smoked...

Hey guys, I was hoping to make a BMC-lover-friendly cream ale with some extra, subtle flavor involved. I also plan to use some hops my in-laws have growing on their property (the beer is for them, mostly, and they're BMC types). I want to add their hops late so that they get the flavor but it...
