- Flaked maize was something I had never used until this past winter. Intrigued by the result I wanted to make another beer with it. A light Cream Ale seemed like a great choice. Dawson joins me to taste the result.

Curt Stock comes to our homebrew meetings, we did a cream ale last April with our homebrew competition. It was a good time.
That's cool. His Cream Ale, which I had a number of years ago now, always stuck with me. I finally got around to making one. Cheers.
I’ve done cream ale beers years ago but this last year I am focused on lagering those types of low ABV crisp beers.
Good to see a video without the distancing emphasis. Feels like the good ole days😆.
Hope you have success with the garden, I love mine.
Your garden makes all of us jealous. And yeah it's nice to be getting out of the pandemic, for sure. Cheers.
Cool vid man. I guess I didn’t realize that was your first cream ale. Not sure how I missed that. Genny cream was a staple for me over the years for sure. Very neat to see Dawson in there. Always good knowledge there. Fun to see the gardens growing after hearing the construction story. Beer looked very nice and crushable. I think the most rad thing in the vid was that kick ass chase and hassek combo you were sitting in. Love it! Cheers from out east.
Yeah the beer turned out well but I think I should do a side by side video with the Helles because that would be even more enlightening, perhaps. The chairs are from my grandmother and yeah, they are pretty unique. Glad you liked the vid and thanks as usual for commenting.
I was inspired by your cream ale and made one as well, “dry hopped” with spruce tips for about 3 weeks. Pretty tasty.
Hey that sounds great. Very creative and sounds like it turned out well. Cheers.
I love using corn in Classic American Pilsner, and rice for rice lagers. I do both via cereal mashes purely for the science of it (same as decoctions too). Being from Australia, I don’t have any of the preconceptions about corn or rice beer being substandard and have really enjoyed the flavour of both. Your garden looks really good- hope you get a great crop from it!
That is an interesting comment about not having the same preconceptions. Huh. Yes in the U.S. craft beer lovers were trained to dislike and think ill of beers with corn and rice. But not in Australia. I guess that is probably better. I don't think I have done an actual cereal mash. Maybe one day. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
I actually started experimenting with using flaked corn in IPAs where I would normally use Dextrose and it works great. I won the IPA category (and 3rd place overall) in the Danish National competition with an IPA that was 5% corn.
This is a very fun idea. Never thought of that. I mean, I suppose it costs more than the white sugar but not much. And maybe adds a little something. Thanks for sharing.
@@donosborn it's actually substantially cheaper than dextrose (but not table sugar) in Denmark
@@jeffwhit Oh wow. Even better. Maybe I'll give it a try some time and use 1 lb in a hoppy lager or something.
Genny Cream ale is okay, but don’t forget Schoenling’s Little Kings! Still brewed and still good example of American cream ale.
I have not heard of Schoenling's I don't think. That's cool there are some some classic examples around.
Hey Don.
I brew a Cream Ale with the same recipe you used. I use instant rice and P.A.N. cornmeal (check the Mexican section of your grocery store.) Both can be dumped straight into your mash without pre-cooking, and both are very inexpensive to buy. The beer turns out great and is a favorite among friends. Easy brew day, too.. For whatever reason, the corn and rice seem to help clear the beer very quickly as well. Cheers.
Never thought/heard of those ingredients clearing the beer faster, but maybe. I think i put gelatin in this one too as I wanted it to be clear. Do you get sugar and also flavor from your instant rice and cornmeal? If I brewed these more and that was cheaper, that would be a fun option. Because I don't do it much I can just buy the stuff from the brew store. Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
@@donosborn Yes, I get the same flavor from the cornmeal and rice, and sugars are added at normal rates. That particular cornmeal, and instant rice, work because both are pre-cooked, so they do not have to be gelatinized before use. I've used flaked corn from the brew store as well. The flavor is the same, but P.A.N. cornmeal is less than half the price of flaked maize. It's only a few bucks difference, but it's also easy to buy and keep on hand.
I first got into 'craft beer' and home brewing back in the mid 90's and I adopted a lot of the attitude from back then that rice and corn = low quality beer. Logically now I know that's not the case but that idea is still stuck somewhere in the back of my head. Maybe I need to brew up a recipe like this to realize how enjoyable a brew you can make with them. Your cream ale came out looking really clean and tasty!
I have the same baggage and that is quite possibly a reason why I always shied away from using corn or rice. Last night I had some of my Helles, and right after some Cream ale. Having them like that, I could really tell the difference. In fact it gave me the idea to do a side by side video at some point maybe. But yeah this Cream ale is a nice drinking beer and as Dawson said, crushable. Cheers.
Same here... I now brew a cream ale with both rice and corn. So, I've named my C.A. "Heathen"
@@Nowuries01 Nice name. ha.
Nice video Don...................now many ibu do you think it ended up, seems low..........i have not made a cream ale either.........I might have to make it my next beer, cheers for south australia
Yes it would be quite low. I think it was only 21g bittering for 60m of a low alpha acid % hop. So it would not be much at all. You can look at my brew log (in the show notes) for the details. If you're interested, give it a try! Thanks for watching. Cheers back to Australia.
@@donosborn thanks for the reply mate, love your videos, If you remember, can you please tell Dawson i loved the Brewing TV series, he seems very fun and knowledgeable..........I had a look at the original recipe from your link, and he has 1.5 ounces at 60mins, and .5 ounce at 5min, for 22ibu......i am wondering wether, you did follow this but wrote it down wrong in your log, or where you did actually do it like it is writen in your log...............cheers
@@beefa5649 Glad you like seeing Dawson. I know people enjoy him and so I try to get him in the videos now and then. I think Curt's recipe is for 10 gallons, so I cut everything in half. Cheers.
Would you say it has Maximum Poundability?
Nice choice of words, ha. But yes you can certainly drink this baby.
I just did my first cream ale ever. Corn and 6-Row, but no rice. Kveik yeast.
Nice. You drinking it now or not yet?
Yes. I've had it on tap for about a week, Don. I did also sneak a small amount of C15 in there, which gives it a subtle toffee aroma on the first sip. The kveik yeast works well too. Non-traditional approach I suppose, but I'm really enjoying it.
@@austin2842 Sounds yummy. The main thing is that you like it, and the experimental part is always fun too. Cheers.
