This was my first all-grain kit that I tried, using the BIAB method and it came out great. Fermented using Cellar Science Cali Ale yeast at between 70 and 72 degrees, got a few warm days in my basement. I added 1.5 ounces of a high-quality vanilla extract to the keg at time of packaging to create a very mild vanilla flavored cream ale. I have served it to family and friends, and everyone loves it. Definitely a favorite and I will keep it on rotation. I also bottle 2 pints in PET bottles and carbonated them using a carb cap to test the base recipe, and that is also very refreshing.

Got this kit but I tweaked it a bit, added sweet orange peel and pure vanilla extract from Mexico. Holy WOW. One of my fav beers, also the whole family loves it. Prob gonna make this one all the time now!!!

Putting this one into one of my standards for a beer on the easier to drink side. This one is perfect if you want a beer that is one that you want a quick refreshing beer that goes well with all your grill favorites & Italian meals or one you don't want to be hopped out on. It does have nice hop flavor and finishes cleanly.

We brewed this a few weeks ago on July 4th and started to drink it a few days ago, it's great. We did add some orange zest to primary as my girlfriend loves the local orange cream ale we get at the local watering hole. In a few days we have almost kicked the keg, I give it another 2 days :)

This turned out great, clean and easy drinking. Didn't last long!

Great kit. I've tried several cream ale recipes. This one was the best in my opinion.

I finally brewed a beer that my wife likes. finished at 6.5 ABV. Has a very light golden color, with a nice light malty flavor. Will definitely brew again.

Tastes like a blonde. I don't know where they get cream.

I honestly hadn't had a cream ale in years. They're more common in Canada (where I'm from) but you can not find them in California. This kit produced a pretty good cream ale - smooth texture, a bit of sweetness, very high drinkability. Reminded me of a Sleeman's Cream Ale (for comparability).My father in law only likes lighter beers and loved this. The recipe is very straight forward. Fermentation, for me, was pretty fast and aggressive (tons of krausen). Don't be worried if the wort looks darker than expected initially.All in all a great recipe. Will be making a mental note to re-create this recipe later in the summer.

will let you know when I have a drinkable Ale

This recipe turned out great. Good light tasting cream ale. Easy to brew.

Well put together kit. Will order again

I bought this kit because i always have a big party at St Patricks day, and wanted something that I could dye green and not care if i have to dump it the day after. I have never really liked cream ales, they just kinda come out boring so they are great for green beer. Brewed the beer, and was blown away. I plan to keep this on my standard rotation for a while. I would definitely recommend this beer.

I'd buy this again and again. Great recipe, very good ale.

I brewed this as a BIAB. The results were great. Nice golden color, thin creamy head and smooth taste. It was even popular with the flavored water (aka light beer) drinkers. I'll be trying this one again.

Nice balanced beer. The wife likes it. Smooth but has plenty of flavor

Brewed this for my wife, didn't last long after the neighborhood hit the kegerator. Well balanced. I like what the flaked corn does to the beer. There's already another of these kits sitting at my house waiting my next brew session and spring drinking.

This turned out to be much better than I would have ever expected. My O.G. was 1.062 & F.G was 1.009 so it finished out well with US 05. Putting my ABV. at 6.8% or so. This is one smooth & tasty beer. I'm normally an IPA guy but I will be doing this again for my second tap.

I brewed this ale at a mash temp of 150 (recirculation mash system), used Wyeast 1056, 14 days in primary (SS Brewbucket @ 67 degrees) then to my corny keg for 1 day at 65 degrees, crashed to 35 degrees for 1 day then 11 psi for 14 days.....perfect brew, this reminds me of a midwest old style brew (grain belt?) I really am not into clarity so that is not a big deal to me, I am into clean, great finish and taste. and good lace down the glass ware. Overall this is a 8.5 out of 10, I will brew it again and compare it to the first one. I like lighter brews not to hoppy, so this is a great brew that came in 5% ABV, perfect for a school night! Pairs well with seafoods. Just for note I would like a bit more body, so I may play with the mash temp, but not much.

This is a good beer to please a lot of different palates at a party. It's definitely got enough (but not too much) flavor for your friends who may be scared of homebrew beer. I let it sit in the primary for almost 2 weeks at 65F (using Safale US-05 dry yeast), then racked it to keg condition for another week at the same temp. I carb'd it and it was ready to go at about the 3.5 week mark. I used a clarifier and a mesh hop strainer during brewing and had no problems with beer clarity. I definitely suggest this if you're looking for a quick, light beer.

I've brewed this beer twice this summer to have something lighter on tap. This cream ale is a great light body and mild hopped beer, but still carries a nice ABV around 5%. Both times I brewed this beer I used safale US-05 dry yeast, but the fermentation temps were quite different.The first time I was able to ferment around 68F. Fermentation was slow and steady, finishing after a week, and racked to a secondary for another week. Very clean tasting beer was wonderful clarity. You would think I had used a filtration system. The second time fermentation was much warmer at 74F. Very fast primary fermentation and racked to a secondary after 6 days. After only 4 days in the secondary (gravity had been stable at 1.010) I went ahead and kegged. I was drinking my first pint after only 14 days. Certainly my fastest brew-to-drink time! The beer has slightly more sweetness, a light hint of fruity esters, and a slight haze, but overall it's still great. Would it be better fermented at a colder temp for a longer time? I think so, but keeping fermentation cool during the summer in the South is a struggle. If you use a mesh strainer to catch lose hops before the wort goes into the primary fermenter, and rack to a secondary fermenter, you'll end up with a really clear, golden beer that will be enjoyed by all.
