because the other grains need mashing with pale malt
or you'll just make porrige if you steep them

you still use the light crystal grain

i love the yeast my steam beers maybe a little on the fruity side after reading that but they taste great ive only been using caramunich not the 135ebc crystal

and more spicy hops gone off NB a bit
 
I've got a beer I'm calling "cascade common" in secondary at the moment. Its not an authentic steam beer, but I'm using WY2112 yeast. Its 4kg of pale LME, 425g wheat DME, 250g steeped dark crystal (120L), and cascade for bittering, flavour and aroma. 35 IBUs and an OG of 1056. I'm expecting it to be a cross between a california common and an APA.

I'll let you know how it tastes in around 9-10 days.

Also, Ben, you could do a mini-mash of the flaked barley, flaked wheat and rolled oats if you mashed them with 700g of pale malt and reduced the amount of DME appropriately. Just need something large enough to mash 1.4kg of grain in. A small esky, or a very large thermos would work well. Even a saucepan if you can insulate it enough..
 
Wow that recipe is craptastic!!!!! Remember that a steam beer was basically just a lager fermented at ale temps.

Firstly take out the barley, oats and wheat.
