Notes

This beer should have a slight cidery character from the cane sugar, that's by design. It is also more hoppy than most American Cream Ale's more along the lines of an English Bitter. The specific hops are not critical, but I always use one high-alpha hop in conjunction with a finishing hop.

I put this into growlers with a low CO2 rate about 1.5 volumes which works out to 1/2 Tbsp cane sugar per 64oz growler to keep them from exploding. After a week or two they are ready.

Quick, cheap, easy to make and easy to drink. Its my table beer.
