Application Tip:

To add floral and citrusy hop character to the Cream Ale, dry hop the beer for 3 days with 1 oz. NZ Hallertau Aroma hops. Following the finish of fermentation, add the hops to the primary for 3 days before siphoning to secondary. Alternatively, siphon the fermented beer to the secondary fermentor and add the hops to the beer 3 days prior to packaging. (Additional hops sold separately.)
