I took the Lawnmower fuel cream-ale recipe (now dubbed "Pißwaßer"), moved half an oz of the bittering into flavouring, switched Saaz for Cascade, added a gelatin fining, et voila... Pißwaßer. I've also dicked around a little with the mash to try and ensure minimum body... lol.
9lbs Bohemian Pilsner Malt
1.5lbs Toasted Rice
1.5lbs Flaked Corn
0.7oz Cascade 6% @ 90.
0.7oz Cascade 6% @ 0.
2 x S-05 for a speedy fermentation.
Green food coloring added at kegging, gelatin used to clarify.
Mash 3 gallons/20 mins @ 144, add 1.25 gallons boiling water and rest another hour. Sparge 4 gallons @ 168.

So, is this suitable for the thirsty summer bmc crowd?

Sure is... make sure to clarify properly or they get pißy :P

Finished at 1.006; Sample tastes good - think this will be my house cream ale now.
-
To keep the BMC'er's happy, how important do you think the Pilsner is vs. regular 2-row? Then sub for a 60 min boil instead of 90?
-
I doubt they'd notice tbh, it's pretty slight. The difference in color would be more noticeable than the difference in flavour.
-
Gelatin did its work just fine... it's not crystal clear, but clear enough that BMC'ers won't care.
I can get away with the "it's unfiltered" line, now :P
-
how long has it been cold crashing with gelatin ? once its cold it should go crystal clear
-
few days? I think I threw it in on Friday.
First glass was mud, second + third are pretty damn good. I suspect after a few more it'll be pretty sparkly.

As I've never bother with clarifying agents how exactly (product, process and quantity) do you use the gelatin?
Thanks,
