Walt’s Cream Ale

Started with wheat at 104 added Munich and 2 row. Rested at 105 for 20 minutes. Brought to 155 or so and added crystal. Rested for 30 minutes. Brought to 180 and drained from bertha. Started with 30 quarts of water. Started about 4 gallons of water at 180 through grains. Ended up with about 11 gals of wort. Rinsed bertha and put wort back in. Turned up head brought whole mess to boil and added 2 oz Cascades. Boiled for 30 minutes added 2 more oz Cascade. Boiled for 20 minutes and added 2 oz hallertauer.

Mistake mistake, added second Cascade at 20 minute. Should have been the Hallentauer. Added the Hallentauer with 10 minutes left in boil. Think it might be OK but would like to try it the right way. What a shame. Blame it on Curt who was sick and could not participate in the brewing process. Too bad because I’m sure it would hav been a better (smarter) end product.

End product after brewing process looks great but cloudy. Entire process took about 5 hours – would have taken somewhat less time had Curt been available.

I think brew turned out ok
