You better get on it! Summer beers need to be brewed in spring!
I know it, it's been hard to get motivated when I'm still looking at snow!

I have found it much easier to use instant rice and instant grits when I make this recipe and it is much cheaper than buying flaked stuff from a LHBS.

Just so you know there is no reason to use rice that I know of except to raise sugar level for alcohol without changing the beer . The rice adds the sugar and does not mess with mouth feel or taste without thinning it out like corn or table sugar . Use generic minute rice . It is a couple bucks for about 2 pounds I think it is . A whole lot cheaper than minute rice . Do not cook the minute rice . It has already been cooked and only needs to be mashed .

Grits may add in some flavor I would think since they are corn and actually have a bit of flavor unlike rice . Grits are usually alkali treated so they have some flavor from that process . Other than that they are nothing but ground corn
that is my two cents ...your mileage may differ
shadyj said:So I have some East Coast Ale Yeast that I need to use up in the fridge. Would this work for this beer? I see that WL rates it 2/4 for american cream ales but if the consensus it that it will be fine then I'll start brewing away.
Hi. I am going to make this shortly. I will be fermenting in the 62 f range because i will be fermenting it next to a cali common. Would you recommend Nottingham or safeale us 05 or something else besides kolsch...that stuff won't floc.
Bump
Would it hurt here if I evened up the rice and corn? How would this affect the final beer? Too dry? Thanks

Currently mashing this beer in my braumeister 20l. Smells great.
Just wondering, how do you guys carbonate the beer eventually.
Force co2 or freeze the wort for nature carbonation?
If I want to do a nature carbonation for 20l. How much wort should I keep?
Wilco Foxtrot Tango?
Based on your post, I'll try to clarify some things as there appears to be some confusion.Currently mashing this beer in my braumeister 20l. Smells great.

I thought the same thing at first.
But I think he sets aside some unfermented wort after the boil, and then uses that instead of priming sugar to carbonate the beer.
Would like to ask how much Dextrose should I use for 19l -20l of fermented wort for carbonation. Any calculation?
Can I use a wb-06 wheat beer yeast for this cream ale recipe?
Primary fermentor is in the chiller but airlock is not bubbling. Any issues?
3 weeks? Too long! 10 gallons lasted me about 2 weeks. Well, we did have a large party. : )Everyone loved this one last summer when I made it - I think the keg lasted all of 3 weeks... Gonna make up my first double batch of it next weekend. Half of that should get us ready for part of the summer, the other half will be available, likely mildly dry-hopped (variety TBD, but I'm thinking Citra or Amarillo) at my club's table at NHC). Figure I'll have to make another batch up in June to get us the rest of the way through the summer, or the wife may not3 be happy!
