Just found your channel thanks for charing. This recipe looks great. I been brewing for a couple months n been experimenting with everything maltable. There’s a lot of corn growers here in Florida. I been growing my own hops just waiting on them to bloom n experiment.
Nice video thanks. Wetting the outside of the kettle to speed up chilling is a cool common sense idea, I’m embarrassed I never thought to do that before, will try next brew day.
I am very intrigued by your use of corn in this recipe. I hail from Central America originally. There, the breweries make something called Latin Pilsner where corn features prominently in the grain bill. It’s a very refreshing beer. I quite like it. If you go out into the countryside, the locals make a very ancient beer passed down to us over the millennia from our pre-Colombian ancestors called chicha. It is made exclusively for malted corn. The people will sprout their own corn which they grow in their own fields though you can do this yourself with any food grade field corn and they flavor the wert with things like lime peel and cinnamon. To help the fermentation, they add a type of sugar that is sold in a solid cylinder which we call rapadura but which in Mexico is called pilonsillo. Brown sugar can be substituted or, you can go straight traditional and add honey which is what I suspect the ancestors used. Another ingredient traditionally added is the rind and cores of pineapples. Fermentation is done with wild yeast. It’s a delicious beer and it is gluten-free for those that want to try it.
I’ve read you want to pre-soak your hulls as they can take up a lot of water. Not a huge issue . Just made a batch of cream ale. Getting close to lawnmower season!
Hey Dr, another great video, I've now made your brown ale and your chocolate stout, I will buy a go pro soon so to show you my tasting, both beers are very tasty, cheers Dr.Hans
@@DrHansBrewery i'm currently fermenting with wlp810 like you did in this video. did you notice any sulfur smell? Mine started to smell "eggy" after a few days. I'm fermenting at around 62 degrees.
SF lager yeast at high temperatures can taste amazing! I was worried one brew when the fuse went on the fridge I use as fermentation chamber. The chamber temp was 28c by the time I realised so who know how warm the wort got but the beer was great- made my steam beer taste like saison! Have you tried it on any IPAs yet?
Did I understand that correctly, you drank some of the starter? I assume that was the decanted liquid off a crashed starter, I have never been brave enough to try mine. Do you do that often?

Hi there! Thanks. My brew system doesnt let me mash under 60C. I found by experimenting that it works fine anyway. This beer did not Ferment down as low as I hoped for. Maybe a cereal mash would have aided that. Still turned out with a great beer though. Thanks for you input. If doing it again I’ll give it a try. Cheers!
Hi DrHans, just a doubt about the sugar/dextrose use. You said it was to dry out the beer. Could you elaborate on that a bit? I'm really interested in getting drier beers and that sounds interesting. But wouldn't it just add more alcoholic flavor to the beer? Thanks and great video!
Alcohol is flavour enhancer just like fat and salt in food. Of course an unbalanced beer an give alcohol flavours. By switching some malt out for sugar you can get a drier beer.
When you mash barley, your goal is create fermentable sugars. But at the same time you inevitably create some non-fermentable sugars at the same time. Those non-fermentable sugars will add body and sweetness you your finished beer because they can't be fermented out. Simple sugars, like sucrose fructose and dextrose are completely fermentable, so they add alcohol to your beer without adding sweetness. Since you add the sugar, you now don't have to use so much malt, so the non-fermentable sugars go down and the dryness goes up.
Some people read well in English but have difficulty listening in English. Your videos are very good and tend to reach distant places. Most of the time, the best result is to use the description box, for the recipie and other important details. If you can, I'd like you to send me the recipe for this beautiful beer (jfmoretti@terra.com.br). thank you.
That mash water looks yellow. What's up with that? One of the key ingredients for an authentic Cream Ale is some form of corn. Grits work well but using flaked corn is easier because you don't need to boil it first. Cream Ales are always made with an ale yeast. Looks like you're brewing a California Common there.
Bob Z - You noticed he actually used corn, right? Also, if you go on WhiteLabs' website, they specifically mention Cream Ale as a style that WLP810 is suitable for.
@@bradleypariah Can you use Cal Common for a Cream Ale? Kinda. It's a lager yeast, so there is that "not really an ale" problem. Also, if you go to White Labs, you'll notice that they offer a "WLP080 Cream Ale Blend" Go figure.
@@BobZed - Just because WLP080 is made for cream ale, doesn't mean WLP810 is not. Cream Ale is listed on White Labs' page for WLP810. If you do not accept that as evidence, then you are indicating that White Labs cannot be trusted. If you do not trust White Labs, don't bother telling me that you believe their Cream Ale blend is for cream ales, because you don't believe them. That's a ridiculous logical fallacy. Either you believe what White Labs says about their yeast, or you do not.

A tasty beer to go with that lovely weather. Cheers!
WLP080 Cream Ale is a great yeast for this style. It has a slightly higher (5-10% more) Attenuation than the WLP810 San Fran. Lager.
Thanks, will check it out!
I’ve read you want to pre-soak your hulls as they can take up a lot of water. Not a huge issue . Just made a batch of cream ale. Getting close to lawnmower season!
Good idea on the adding wort yo your sugar. I’ve had scorching before not doing that
Yes Ive heard so also but I've actually never done it. To be fair it havent been an issue.
Congrats, your beer has a great color!
Thanks!
Great looking beer, Dr. Hans! Cheers!
Cheers!
Wow it looks orange going into the fermenter! I bet this one was tasty!!!
Looks like an amazing beer, beautiful creamy head. Gj
Yep nice head on that one!
That beer looked lovely mate. Well done
Cheers
Cheers!
OK, so you managed to convince me, I need to do a cream ale.
It's a perfect beer for the summer!
Hey Dr, another great video, I've now made your brown ale and your chocolate stout, I will buy a go pro soon so to show you my tasting, both beers are very tasty, cheers Dr.Hans
HI Scott, so good to hear, I waish I could have tasted yours, Cheers!
Love your channel....Im making a very basic cream ale, my first attempt at all-grain, but would love to try your recipe if you could post it. Thanx
Thanks!
No problem, send me an email and I'll hook you up. Cheers
Really interesting brew.
Thanks!
Another nice vid in the bag! Nice work there! Cheers!

very good
Thanks!
"lets dive in" :D:DD

Cracking looking beer there. I sure your father will like it cheers
Lets hope so!
What was the oat product? I couldn't work out the complete word....
Oat hulls, it can be replaced with rice hulls.
Doc who have you been around using the phrase aint. That is a southern USA slang LOL
Hmm don't know ain't got a clue 😉
Obviously it ain't. It's everywhere.
ain't is an English slang going back hundreds of years.
The Culture Brewing Channel no it ain't
@@barnsimon you ain't funny
Looks gorgeous:-)>
Yes it did, cheers!
You kegged after 8 days fermenting? And if so, how long did you keg it for?
Left it a few days to clear I think.
@@DrHansBrewery i'm currently fermenting with wlp810 like you did in this video. did you notice any sulfur smell? Mine started to smell "eggy" after a few days. I'm fermenting at around 62 degrees.
@@kevindeloscities can't say I did. Its important that you bump.up the temp as the fermentation slows down
Too dark mate
Not in my opinion but the camera doesn't always show you the right lightness. Beer often looks darker on camera.
After watching this I had to breakout a bottle of Banks's Amber. Cheers.
Awsome
Hé DrHans Brewery,
Question: what system is it you are using? what brand is it from?
Hope to hear from you.

Great video quality as well, what's the make of camera?

Yes its very similar. A bit earlier system. Its a panasonic for the tasting and most off the brew fotage where made with my Samsung S8plus.
