Cream Ale by Erik Beer | 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit | Extract

    Description

    • Our Signature Series kits offer a selection of crazy, unique beers developed by MoreBeer! customers, associates, and homebrewing legends!
    • Featuring a blend of Pale and Pilsener Malt with some Flaked Maize thrown in to lighten things up

    • Estimated IBUs: 16-20
    • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

    Erik Beer was the president of the local homebrew club, DOZE, for a number of years.  During that time, he created and perfected recipes for a number of different brews, this easy-drinking Cream Ale being one of them.  Featuring a blend of Pale and Pilsener Malt with some Flaked Maize thrown in to lighten things up, this beer is sure to be a hit with everyone you share it with. (If you share it at all!).  Hopping is light on this one, but definitely enough to balance things and make this brew go down smooth.

    • Makes 5 gallons

    • SRM (Color Range): 3-4
    • IBUs: 16-20

    Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar.

    Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
    MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

        Two pints in and I ordered another kit!

        Kit arrived well packaged and labeled. I went with the DME version, and full boil. I rushed it a little (brew day to glass in 9 days) but it came out amazing. Reminds me a lot of Spotted Cow, at least what I remember. I'm typically an all-grain brewer and steeping a pound of flaked corn without base malts seemed kinda silly it definitely shows through in the finished beer. Suspect this is also why corn sugar is added - to replicate what typically would happen in a full mash. It definitely pays off. Also, I left out a pound of DME because I wanted a lower starting gravity...1.049 and finished 1.009 with BRY-97. Had two pints and placed another order.

        Great beer. I tweaked it a little to try something different and will definitely brew it this way again.

        One of my favorites

        Recommend! Made it twice. Shared with friends last weekend. Even the non-beer drinkers loved it. Ordering another kit now before the last bottles are gone!

        Great Beer

        I crack the bottle as soon as it was supposed to be ready and wasn't too thrilled. I let it chill in the fridge for a week and oh man did it taste great. I got great feedback from everyone who tried it. I will definitely reorder this one.

        Addition of Jalepeno Peppers

        After a week in primary, I read about a Jalepeno cream ale recipe. I roasted 4 peppers, cut them up, soaked in vodka for a hour or two, and added to primary for 2 weeks. I bottled yesterday. The uncarbed beer was drinkable right out of primary. I can hardly wait to try it in 2 weeks.

        Is a great cream ale

        This was one of the several brews for my buddy's wedding I did. Surprising... this was one of the favorites. I can see why this made the discuss of great cream ales at the MoreBeer! warehouse. It bridged the gap of bud drinkers and craft beer. I think next time I will brew it with a fruit flavor like the laughing dogs huckleberry cream ale.

        Excellent flavor

        My wife and I went to a beer festival and asked how our favorite beer was made. Coffee and cream ale. So we ordered 2 of these kits. Added three cups of coffee to the fermentor just before bottling, and let it sit two weeks. Even though we tested the coffee flavor out before adding the coffee, the coffee flavor was a bit heavy so we did the next batch with 2 cups of coffee. We enjoyed the flavor so much that we ordered two more kits. My wife likes the beer without the coffee flavor as well. The second two kits accepted three pounds of malt each to raise the alcohol which added a little more sweet taste to the beer. I love the light color of this beer, and enjoy a slightly sweeter flavor from the added malt over the hoppy beers.I found a 24 oz bottle this last weekend of the coffee cream ale in the back of the fridge from about three months ago and opened it. My wife put a shot of sambuca (sambvca is a liquorish flavored liquer) into the glass and people were asking for more. It seems the longer this beer stays in the bottle, the better it gets.After I am done with my Octoberfest and Thanksgiving beers which I have brewed for a halloween party, I will be heading back to this beer.It is always nice on Halloween evening to brew up some beer in the front yard as the kids come up to trick or treat.

        Do I still add another 4 oz of corn sugar before bottling even after I added 8 oz while wort was still boiling?
