Liquid Sunshine Cream Ale

[Schol-R-LEA]

Brewed this last Sunday (June 9th). The temperature in my fermentation area is a bit high (averaging 75°F) for the yeast, but it should be acceptable.

5 lbs. Briess 6-row pale malt
2.5 lbs. flaked maize
2.5 lbs. flaked rice
1 lb. Carapils malt
1 oz Liberty hop pellets, FWH
White Labs WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast

Results will be posted as they come in.

That is high for that yeast. I kept a batch with WLP080 between 70-75 F because that's what the label said (WL's website says differently) and got pretty poor attenuation. Grail bill was similar to yours, but with flaked oats instead of the rice and a bit of crystal.

Forgot to mention that I bottled on 22 June, rather earlier than I intended but I figured that it was appropriate for a quick-maturing style. FG was 1.011, about a point lower than the earlier measurement.

What do you think of this? Since 1994.

Oops. I was afraid if that; this isn't the first time a name I've chosen turned out to be taken. I thought I'd checked on that before, but I guess I didn't.
