| Notes: Single-infusion mash at 151° F (66° C) for 45 minutes. Draw 6 gallons and boil 60 minutes. Chill to 68° F (20° C) if possible. Whirlpool and allow 15 minutes to settle before racking to fermenter. After primary fermentation, rack onto pureed mangos. (Mangos change flavor as they age so it’s important to get them from the same tree or source whenever possible. Overripe mangos make for a somewhat putrid final product. Their sweetness also varies depending on the exact type of mango-some are sweeter than others.) In seperate muslin bag, add hibiscus and a couple of sanitized marbles for weight. Suspend bag from a string so it can be easily removed after three days (or longer if a spicier beer is desired). Ferment in secondary for three weeks. |

Notes: An ale version of the light, fizzy American lager style, cream ale is a specialty of the eastern US. This Cream Ale is medium-light bodied and smooth, gold in color and low in bitterness; the specialty grain blend adds some complexity with a clean, sweet malt profile and a hint of buttered toast in the aroma and flavor. A homebrewed "lawnmower beer” is pretty hard to beat as a summertime thirst-quencher. Can be ready in as little as two weeks if keg priming. Chug-a-lug!
1 week primary, 1 week secondary, 1 week conditioning.
Liquid Yeast Option: Wyeast 1056 American Ale.
Make 1L starter. Use 2 lbs flaked corn to boost OG. |

Notes: Trying to brew a hazy wheat house ale maybe with some fruity flavors.
First brewed 4/7/18. Original recipe had 2.5 oz hops total, 1.5 oz Mt Hood bittering @ 60 and 1 oz El Dorado split between 15, 10, 5 0. This beer ended up with a little bit too much bitterness, and had a bit of a dank, hoppy, lingering aftertaste that wasn't super pleasant. Not bad, but probably could lower the hops, especially the late additions. Maybe bring all hops down by 50% or something similar.
Second brew 6/21/2018. Reduced the bittering hops to 1 oz Mt Hood at 60, but kept the late hop additions of 1 oz Azacca split between 15, 10, 5, 0. Will dry hop with 1 oz of a mix of cascade/centennial. |

Notes: https://byo.com/article/california-common-style-profile-2/
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. Pale chocolate (200–250 °L) imparts a more intense dark toasty note, which I like in this beer. If you use pale chocolate, keep it to a minor addition, around 1%. Stay away from malts darker than pale chocolate or use them in only the tiniest of amounts for color correction, not flavor. You do not want a roast character to come through in the beer. In general, keep the total of all specialty grain additions to less than 15%.
While there are some examples out there that use other hop varieties, making a beer similar to Anchor Steam requires Northern Brewer hops. If you want to experiment, avoid highly citrusy or fruity hops as they will overshadow the fermentation character, which is so important to this style. Finding other hop varieties that fit a judge’s vision of California common can be tough. You will want to look for varieties that give a woody, earthy, or perhaps a spicy hop character. I have always thought Spalt would work well, with its interesting spicy and somewhat rustic character. You might also experiment with Cluster, Nugget, Perle, Santiam, Tettnanger or Liberty. Historically the hops would most likely have been California-grown Cluster hops.
When it comes to hop quantities, go bold on the flavor and aroma additions. It shouldn’t be overwhelming and turn into an IPA, but the hop character, along with hop bittering, should be full and readily apparent to the drinker. For flavor and aroma, add two or three later additions around 1⁄4 to 1/3 oz. per gallon (1 to 3 g/L). You can go lighter or heavier, just keep in mind the overall character you are trying to build. Target a bitterness-to-starting gravity ratio (IBU divided by OG) of 0.6 to 1.0.
A fermentation temperature of 62 to 64°F (17 to 18°C) gives the best result. Follow that up with a month of cold conditioning and carbonation approaching three volumes and it will help you come a little closer to matching that wonderful Anchor classic. |
