Hey guys
I've been doing more and more reading about steam beer/cali common (anchor steam in particular). I think I've finally settled on a recipe for my first attempt. The only thing holding me back now is the US NB hops. I've talked to every retailer, hopco, etc etc... no luck so far.
My goal is to produce something close to Anchor, as I have 2 mates who are huge fans of it, and it's the most popular example of the style.
An advice on recipe tweaks are much appreciated! I also wanted to help push all the XXXX Vs TED type threads out of the "latest" section...
