What better way to grace the triumphant return of the best season than by breaking the seal on Spooky Finger Puppet Ghost Month 2025?

Bearing that thought in mind, this still was not a brew I had penciled in for the summer this year. I brewed this for two reasons. Firstly, I committed to making a ten gallon batch and needed to propagate a specific yeast strain. I figured that strain would work really well in this beer. Secondly, my friends from Maine Malt House launched a direct-to-consumer website for homebrewers. Their craft malt is will be perfect in this recipe. Looking at the 2015 post, I have streamlined the recipe for Crackerjack Cream Ale to a point where I have the grist memorized: 70% North American 2-row malt, 25% Flaked Maize, 5% Caramalt. Initially the recipe had light caramel malt to give it a sweet note; you know,
