Go Pies
I have a hankering for this and have a pack of wyeast Cal Lager in the yeast fridge. But....a recipe? I have found only one California Common on the DB and it looks like it did not turn out how the brewer planned.
I read an old post about it and got a nice link to Brewing Techniques (thanks Warren 3 years ago!). But nothing in the way of recipes to steal. I have yet to start formulating my own recipes, so a bit hesitant to start, though I have Designing Great Beers and it is an excellent book.
The only recipe I have is from Skotrats archive and that's got Cascade hops in it as flavour/aroma/dry hopping and according to the BT article, Cascade hops are not part of the equation! So not truly to style and I want to just base this on US Northern Brewer hops.
Does anyone have a GOOD recipe for this? I think I have all the malts I could want, pale ale as a base, caramel & vienna for colour.
Thoughts? Planning on brewing this 30th May.
