Recipe Pack Californian Common Lager (All Grain)

All Grain kit, this is our version ofthe unique 100% American style lager, fermented at Ale temperatures &  called The California Common, or Steam Beer.  It's usually brewed with a special strain of lager yeast that works better at warmer temperatures. This style dates back to the late 1800's in California when refrigeration was a great luxury. The brewers back then had to improvise to cool the beer down, so shallow open fermenters were used. So in a way the lager yeast was trained to ferment quicker at warmer temperatures. Today's examples are typically rich amber amber to tawny in color, medium bodied with a malty character. Mildly fruity with an assertive hop bitterness typically from Northern Brewer Hops.

Kit contains all the malt, hops, yeast, whirlfloc and minerals for a successful brewday.

Grains will be custom milled to suit your system, so in the notes section at checkout, add eg. "Milled for 3V system" or "Milled for BIAB" or "Milled for Grainfather System" "Unmilled etc.

We'll adjust milling to suit and flush the grains with CO2 so they can be stored milled for several weeks before use if necessary.

Your hops will be supplied in a segmented bag with each hop addition all ready to go in.
