Unfortunately, the Lobster Ale I was asked to brew in April is not something I was looking forward to for several reasons. First, I am still rusty with all-grain recipes, for a 10 gallon batch, secondly, I would have to buy 12 lobsters, and at 12.99/lb (at the time I checked), it would not make it economically reasonable to brew this recipe, and lastly, I am looking for refreshing beer that I know I will enjoy during the hot summer days. Thus the candidate is the Canadian Ale recipe, from page 254 of “The Complete Homebrew Beer Book” by Geroge Hummel. I am going to try for the Dry Cream Ale, substituting the rice syrup for dextrose and using lager yeast (if I think the temperature in the basement is cool enough).
I will post the recipe soon…
Cheers!
