Notes: Directions

Mash all grains at 156F for 1 hour and draw first runnings to kettle. Some amount of caramelization is desired in this beer.
To achieve this, take a two pints of the first mash runnings and simmer in a saucepan to reduce to a syrup, taking care to
not burn it. Do this while the rest of the wort is boiling. Sparge grains with 175F water to collect the full volume of wort.
Boil wort for 90 minutes, begin adding hops with 60 minutes left to go according to the schedule above and add the wort
reduction back to the kettle with about 5 minutes left to go in the boil. Chill to 58F and pitch yeast

Fermentation

Ferment on the cooler side of the yeast's optimal range, roughly 58F. The beer takes a while to mature,
so give it close to 6 weeks of time in the fermenter before kegging or bottling.

Notes: Make Cream Ale to split to two fermentations - one ale yeast for Cream Ale Yeast, other California Lager Yeast to ferment at same temp (WLP810 or WYeast 2112). Style is cream ale with some common (steam) characteristics to go with the lager yeast.

Recipe to blend of both styles, include lighter crystal malt for toffee/honey flavor, some biscuitty-ness from biscuit malt. Mellow on specialty malts so nothing is overpowering, but builds in complexity.

Hop profile to include N Brewer (Pine/Herbal/Cedar) as a nod to the common style and some american hops (Ahtanum, Amaraillo, or Cluster) to bring some floral citrus/orange. Cluster for more earthy/floral/fruity or Amarillo for floral/citrus. Light hopping at end with a hopstand to round out lighter hop flavors on the palate.

Target a bitterness-to-starting gravity ratio (IBU divided by OG) of 0.6 to 1.0.
For flavor and aroma, add two or three later additions around 1⁄4 to 1/3 oz. per gallon (1 to 3 g/L).

If you want to create your own example of the style, but still do well in competition, the safe thing is to try to play off a characteristic of the Anchor example, such as emphasizing the toasty, biscuit, or caramel character. You can also experiment with different hops, but I would avoid trying to play with the fermentation profile too much, as it is an important part of this style.

Anchor’s mash schedule is a secret, although reportedly it starts at 140 °F (60 °C). Historical steam beer brewers supposedly used a mash temperature of 158 °F (70 °C). If you are trying to copy the Anchor example, I would start at 140 °F (60 °C) and then raise the mash for a rest at 158 °F (70 °C).

The only specialty malt you really need for California common is crystal malt. You want to build a gentle but clearly evident caramel flavor and color. Use a mid-color crystal malt between 30 and 70 °L for up to 10% of the grist. If you want to develop more of a toasty/biscuity character, you can add a small percentage (< 5%) of toasted malts, such as Victory, biscuit or even pale chocolate.
