Im looking at doing a Steam beer as Im unable to lager but Ive a room which is cool enough to do a steam beer. Now theres plenty recipies on line especially for Anchor.

The most popular hop seems to be Northern Brewer. And whislt Anchor is a nice beer I would like to wind the hoppiness back a tad for my wife's pallet. And make a nice summer/ BBQ beer. Later on I plan to use this as a base recipie for fruit, elderflower etc.

Any suggestions??
 
Hi Jon

This is my steam beer recipe. It's surprisingly not to hoppy. And NB hops isn't an in your face hop at all. I find the late addition American hops add a little extra dimension. But again with the amounts it's not in your face.

California Common / Steam Beer
Sorry I missed this. Here is my recipe. For a 21litre batch.

78% MO - 4Kg

10% Munich - 0.5Kg

6% 60L crystal - 0.3Kg

6% victory malt - 0.3Kg

25g Northern brewer - 60 mins

35g Northern brewer - 15 mins

10g Cascade - 2 mins

10g Columbus - 2 mins

WLP 810 ( I find the white labs to be loads better than the wyeast 2112)

Multi step mash

40oC - dough in

50oC - 20 mins

66oC - 70 mins

76oC - 10 mins

Boil 70 mins

Pre boil OG 1.045

Post boil OG 1.052

Final OG 1.015

IBU 42

EBC 19

Ferment at about 15oC (no higher, and about 13 is best) until hit FG and then do a rest for at least 7 days. Rack off and the bottle. I find doing secondary for a few days at about 5oC drops most of the trub out before bottling.

Allow 2 week at room temp to carbonate and the put in 7oC (garage at this time of year) for 2-3 weeks to condition.

Happy days [emoji6]
