- Light, refreshing, golden, creamy head, light citrus aroma.
I was going camping with BMC friends in 13 days at the Cool Water Campground on the Pine river Michigan.
Used Super-Kleer KC finings in the secondary and cold crashed for 2 days, yeast dropped right out, clear.
Racked cold beer to keg, 30 psi, rocked keg 100 times then placed in fridge for 12 hrs, vented keg, set to 15 psi rocked until co2 flow stopped, iced keg for drive, set to 30 psi for about 8 more hours, vented and set to serving pressure and enjoyed a mug of golden cream ale, carbonation was good and got creamier as the weekend went.
Citrus hop aroma is out of style but made for a refreshing summer time ale.
