  15. Brewing Light Hybrids – Adjuncts • Use flaked maize and glucose to lighten body and create dry finish for Cream Ales • Use American 2-row malt base for Blonde Ales • Use Pilsner malt for Kölsch • Use a 40-60% malted wheat for American Wheat Beer • Substitute rye for some or all of the wheat for American Rye Beer

  16. Brewing Light Hybrids – Hops • Use low alpha acid noble hops or noble derivatives for Kölsch(Hallertau, Tettnang, Spalt, Hersbrucker, Mt. Hood) • Any hop variety can be used sparingly for other Light Hybrids • Finishing hops should be minimal if any

  17. Brewing Light Hybrids– Water • Soft water preferred for Cream Ales (RO Water + 1.5 tsp/5gal CaSO4) • Water for other hybrids can vary • San Diego filtered water okay – could be blended with RO water to soften the water

  18. Brewing Light Hybrids– Yeast • Use attenuative ale yeast • BJCP guidelines result in 76-84% attenuation • Create a large yeast starter • Re-pitching from a previous fermentation is recommended for larger yeast pitch

  19. Brewing Light Hybrids • Mashing • Mash at low temperatures (149F) for dryer beer • Boil • Minimize boil to avoid carmelization
