Hi there.
I was in Canada on holiday and noticed they drink quite alot of cream
ale there. This is a style I'd never heard of before (I live in
Scotland). I fancy giving it a bash tommorow so I looked up the
guidelines and devised a recipe. Am I on the right lines? Will I need
to cold condition this in the secondary?
Based on 70% efficiency and for 5 UK gallons (6 US gallons), shooting
for an SG of around 1.045 to 1.050.
Pale ale malt (maris otter) - 9 Lb
Carapils - 0.75Lb
Flaked Corn - 1.5 Lb
Munich Malt - 6oz
Gypsum - 1tsp
Mashed at 66C/151F for 90minutes, 1.5Qt:1Lb
--
Hallertau Hersbruker 1oz (60mins)
Hallertau Hersbruker 0.5oz (15mins)
--
WL007 Dry English Ale yeast.
Thanks for any help!

Good lookin' recipe. Some cold conditioning helps this style. It is
supposed to be a clean but slightly fruity lager style, but brewed with
ale yeast.

Looks about right to me. It's a nice refreshing style,
perfect for warm weather.

Sounds pretty close to what I do. I use a little less carapils and use
saaz hops instead of hershbruker.

Cheers for the feedback everyone.
I'm going to go ahead with this today. Probably ferment it fairly cool
for a yeast to get it as clean as possible.

Bingo. Probably shoot for 60-65 F, if the WLP007 will let you go that low
(I can't see why not -- it might just take a little longer to ferment).
