In this video, I’m brewing up an American classic – the Cream Ale. This delicious, easy-to-brew pale beer carries far more character than a pale lager and will have people coming back for more!

Hi Steve, What app are you using on your phone with the graph? Cheers
It’s the app that comes with the Anton Paar easydens
I heard that Cream Ale was a still beer w/ a shot of the barrel yeast on the side. Mix it in, it’s creamy.
Sadly I just learned that Lallemand Koln is not going to be made any more. I’m guessing K-97 is prob the same but I dunno.
Wow, that sucks. I really liked it
For my son I’ve been wanting to make him a beer that tasted like cornbread and jalapeño.
Seems like this would be the perfect starting point.
Any suggestions on changes to the recipe to achieve that taste? How would I give it the jalapeño flavor? How much Jalapeño to add and when?
Thank you!
You can definitely get some good corn flavor from the recipe, but I don’t have much to offer from the perspective of adding peppers to beer. I assume if they go in at the end of the boil you can get some flavor and spiciness from them, but adding them to the fermenter might bring about a more subtle or controlled flavor.
Thank you very much for your reply….. when I asked him what his favorite beer was, it was one that tasted like cornbread and jalapeño, but he couldn’t remember who brewed it. Figure I’ll give it a try.
Thanks again, I love the content you provide in your channel and I recently purchased a Clawhammer 20 gallon, 240 volt system.
Take care!
Glad to help!
I might try this. Not a beer we really do here in aus. But im keen
