Notes

Add 1 ml lactic acid (88%) or use acidified malt if needed to drop ph after mash settles in.

Makes good lawn mower beer. Corn goes through funky time when aging in fridge. There will be a malt vinegar smell for 2 days, then just a malt vinegar taste for 2 days, then the taste and odors clean up nicely. Serve at 40 degees and drink out of bottle.

Highest OG I ever got is 48 using a 75 minute mash. Adding a pound of sugar (which is within style for cream ale) might do the trick to raise the O.G. 7 to 9 degrees.
