Wanted to turn over the fermenters quickly, as my pipeline took a hit. So I made stuff with what I had. This is what I had.

For 5.25 gallons:

1/4# Honey Malt Steeped
6# MoreBeer Extra Light LME (2# up front, 4# late addition @10 minutes)
1# MoreBeer Dry Rice Extract (malted rice sugar, added up front)

60 minute boil
1/2oz Northern Brewer (7%) @60
1/2oz Northern Brewer @20
1oz Mount Hood (5.4%) @2

Cooled, split between 2 LBCs, topped up each LBC to 8.5Q mark, pitched full pack of S-23 in each, will ferment 57-58ish.

Sample before I pitched said 1.049.

I love Northern Brewer and Mount Hood, so I know will be easy to drink, even if it is perhaps a tad too hoppy to be a real cream ale.

I LOVE the title of your thread Mashani is that what you named the beer??



I bet it's going to be darned good.

Yep, I'm going with this as the name for this beer LOL.

Bottled this at 1.009. Tasted nice. Will be easy to drink in large quantities.

Popped open a trub bottle. Even though this was done with lager yeast, and hasn't been lagered at all yet, it's quite nice to drink at this young age. Some lagering/time will totally smooth it out, and it will be very much a cream ale like substance.

I, too, make a cream ale like substance. I don't much care if it's strictly to style, because I like it. Light and fizzy. Very refreshing.

I drank my other trub bottle which I let sit in the fridge longer - I'm quite happy with how this turned out for such a simple beer. Very easy to drink, will be just the thing for after a run or bike ride or swim. If it last that long. The NB/Mt. Hood combo is really nice, even if it has a bit too much hop flavor to be to "style".
