Elmer's Cream Ale (my 3rd boil)

[Elmer]

Cold crashed for 24 hours with a large bucket an ice.
Racked with the AI1, sterilized using the AI1, and then bottled with AI1.
Had a little left over. It was smooth & sweet, but at 5.5% had a nice kick.
Considering this was a sweet cream ale, and only 1 hop (flavor, bittering ), I was surprised how unhoppy it was.
Then again it is about 20 IBU and not and ipa.
However I made this for the everyday BMC drinkers that stop by and not everything can be a ipa.
I took took the bottled beer and placed in an igloo cooler (seen in above post)with an aquarium heat patch, and wrapped in blankets.
This will bottle condition at 66F.

Next on deck is an West coast ipa (6.6%, 60 IBU)

Lookin good. I bottled my IPA on Thursday. Next up will be a Kolsch, and 1 gallon of that will get blueberries.

I completely blundered and under carbed this batch. I don't know what I was thinking but I added about 3.5 oz for over 4.5 gallons.
However at 2 weeks out there was a slight ppfffft, when I popped the top.
It doesn't have the head I usually like , but it is malty, creamy and a hint of cascade.
I will be making the recipe again (especially since I can make it for $30)

After drinking a half dozen of these (not in 1 sitting) I have Decided they are delicious.
Malty, sweet, slight hop flavor.
This is a recipe I am goin to tweet and try again.
Maybe next time add some citra hops
