Notes

An attempt at a Californian Common. The oat husks are there to offset any Lautering Sticking problem. Aiming for a 5.4pH in the mash with the Phosphoric Acid used in the salt additions. The 3 Vols of CO2 are the norm for the Anchor Steam beer. The Vienna Malt is there to increase the biscuit flavour required. I don't have Northern Brewer Hops so those chosen are there to get the correct IBU value. The Californian Common yeast should give the correct flavour given the 5% ABV.
