I bought the California lager yeast determined to make a decent lager this winter. I was going to do the steam beer as it is the standard with this yeast but I have read a lot of reports of this being a good but never great homebrew. The idea of nothing but northern brewer in there puts me off a little too.
So I am thinking of doing an American Pale Lagerale as in SFPA but with the Calif lager yeast. It will be a minimash with DME and crystal malt, hopped with cascade and amarillo.
Who has done this style with this yeast and would you do it again?
What temps would you suggest?
With this style I wouldnt worry about diacetylor should I?
Any other suggestions for this yeast? Id like to whack out a few while the weather suits it.
