Smooth, Crisp, and Refreshing with a Clean Lager-Like Finish

Brew a timeless Cream Ale with this Brewmaster Extract Recipe Kit. Cream Ale is a classic hybrid style—fermented with ale yeast for simplicity, then cold-conditioned to deliver a clean, smooth finish that drinks like a light lager. This recipe uses a blend of light and Pilsner malt extracts, plus flaked corn for a touch of sweetness and softness, creating a highly drinkable beer that’s perfect year-round.

Why Brew a Cream Ale?

Cold Conditioning for Best Results

For the cleanest, most refined flavor, cold-condition your Cream Ale for several weeks after fermentation. This helps reduce esters, smooths the finish, and brings out the crisp, lager-like character that makes Cream Ale such a standout “anytime” beer.

Fermentation Requirements

  • Fermenter: Use a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace for a healthy 5 gallon fermentation.
  • Temperature control: Keep fermentation steady and follow the yeast or instruction-sheet temperature guidance for the cleanest result.
  • Packaging: Confirm fermentation is complete before bottling or kegging, then package carefully to avoid oxygen pickup.
