Here is it. I'm not sure what I should use for 6-row because I couldn't find it on grain and grape. Should I just use pilsner?

Briess Yellow Corn Flakes - Flaked Maize (per Kg): 900g
Joe White/Maltcraft Traditional Ale (per Kg): 4.6kg (2-row)
Bestmalz (German) Carapils (per Kg): 350g

6-row: 1.82kg

Hops:
20g wakatu 60mins
20g wakatu 20mins
40g wakatu steep
40g wakatu dry hop

30L
1.054 OG
25.8 IBUs
5.8%

Cheers guys!

add some dark spec malts too and add seven more words/adjectives to make it sound cooler.
 
It's the Butter Chicken of beers ;)

Regarding the six row, two of the reasons it's used in Cream Ales are tradition and its high diastatic power, to convert the corn fully. Your recipe doesn't have a whole lot of corn so, although you need to check the DP of the Joe White, you should be able to just sub in more of that. But, do check the Joe White DP. In case you don't already know, here's an article on diastatic power that will explain to you how to work out whether you have enough enzymatic grunt.
