Looks pretty good. I'd urge some American hops, for the 60 min addition anyway. Surely you have or can easily aquire some Cascades, right? Your Goldings would be beautiful, but think "rough around the edges" for this one.

[timbo41]

Ah Seymour. A slip in the armour. Cascade not considered suitable. But I concede the point. Brewday a week or two off,may get some nobles in

[seymour]

...Cascade not considered suitable...

Are we talking about Cream Ale or Classic American Pilsner?

In reality, it's the grapefruity nature of Cascades used 30 minutes or less which would be unsuitable. But I insist Cascade, Cluster most of all, or any old-timey American hop used for the full-boil bittering addition would be perfectly suitable for either style. Your Goldings are "noble" enough for the later additions, keep 'em.

Cream Ale guidelines: http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style06.php#1a

"American ingredients most commonly used. A grain bill of six-row malt, or a combination of six-row and North American two-row, is common. Adjuncts can include up to 20% flaked maize in the mash, and up to 20% glucose or other sugars in the boil. Soft water preferred. Any variety of hops can be used for bittering and finishing."

Beautifully argued as normal sir! Ok will go with a shitload of us hops..love liberty!! Great hop..going for a pseudo CaP. Gladly take your normal considered advice on this new,for me,brew

[seymour]

Cool, happy brewing and best of luck. But if you keep calling me "sir", we're through!

P.S. I noticed your edit, too. Made me laugh. What you don't know is I grew up in Wisconsin, so you got me with a one-two-knockout!

Edit..reckon seymour might like the comments on this recipe...my english tranlates that s st louis denizens drink p**s

Yeah, a well-deserved criticism of Anheuser Busch. I'd like to take this chance to apologize to the world for my city's defilement of beer which is the whole Budweiser and Bud Light family. For what it's worth, it's now a Belgian brewery (Inbev).

But I assure you, that author wouldn't recognize this town since becoming one of the most exciting scenes of the craft beer rennaissance! The St. Louis Brewers Guild now boasts over 20 hard-core breweries, seemingly with new ones opening every month! Charleville Brewery, 4 Hands Brewing, Ferguson Brewing, 2nd Shift Brewing, Perennial Ales, Schlafly, Square One Brewery, O’Fallon Brewery, Urban Chestnut Brewing, Morgan Street Brewery, Kirkwood Station Brewing, Augusta Brewing Co, Exit 6 Brewery, Six Row Brewing, Trailhead Brewing, Civil Life Brewing, Cathedral Square, Crown Valley, Buffalo Brewing Co, Heavy Riff, Scratch Brewing, etc.

Not quite sure what to say, except that your Bugsy's will blow that stuff away!
