It's summer and i was trying to come up with a recipe that is equal part summer crusher and unique so Im hoping to brew a strawberry rhubarb crisp/pie cream ale. Something fruity and light with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. Similar to a strawberry rhubarb pie or crisp. I have tons of rhubarb from our garden and its strawberry season here in WI so what better than to take advantage. For the recipe i sort of pulled from other recipes for getting that pie crust flavor as well as that cream ale flavor. Please let me know how this recipe look and if i need to adjust my malt bill, yeast or anything else. I'm still learning and have never doen a cream ale before so all feedback is welcome.
