Brew a California Common! (inspired by Anchor Steam)
I brewed my first California Common. The recipe was inspired by Anchor Steam. My motivation was a combination of Anchor's closing, attempts to earn points for a "lager" in the Master Homebrewer Program (MHP) and also just wanting an easy drinking and flavorful beer to share.
My friends at NOVA Homebrew liked the beer so much, they encouraged me to brew a 15 gallon batch to go on tap at Old Ox Brewery for American Craft Beer Week 2024. This batch also scored my highest single competition score sheet of all time (a 43!), but did not even place.

    Great video. I'm on day 2 of a voss and lutra side by side fermentation at room temperature. My voss batch lagged about 12 hours behind the lutra. It's interesting to see how it went for others. 🍻

      Let me know how it turns out. I am working on a Lutra video. I fermented a 5 gallon batch of Helles with a lager yeast and 2.5 gallons with Lutra. It was in the keg in less than a week and tasting pretty good after another 2 weeks in the keg.

      Glad it was helpful! I have not brewed many 1 gallon batches lately. I find that 2.5 gal batches are a sweet spot for me. They are easy to brew on my stove and it is enough beer to share if it turns out, but not enough that it takes months to drink up.

    • @CascadesHomebrew

      Good question. Starting a TH-cam channel is one way to encourage brewing different styles! Getting into competitions and the Master Homebrewer Program has pushed me toward brewing a bigger variety. My local club also often has informal competitions for a set of styles. The online club "The Brü Club" also picks a style each quarter they encourage members to brew. I tend to prefer brewing Hoppy American Ales, Belgian Ales, and the occasional Porter or Stout. Even that gives me 20+ styles I could brew.

  • @mateuszminsky5619

    Ya. compare hot kveik to "room temp" kveik. I have no idea how they're fermenting "naturallly" with this stuff in NORWAY at hot temperatures outside maybe 6 weeks in the summer months.

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      My understanding is that traditional Norway brewing often made fairly large batches (often for a special event). The yeast was pitched while the wort was still warm. The large mass and heat from fermentation kept it warm during the few days of fermentation. But yeah, it is a little odd that a yeast like this did not come from the tropics. I have used Voss several times at warm room temperatures. It seems that you get more orange esters as you push the temps warmer...say 65F vs 75F vs 85F.

      @@CascadesHomebrew I am doing 5 gallons of straight mead with it right now at current kitchen temperature which is roughly 75-85 degrees. It's calmly ripping through it. I kept reading about how people wrap the jug and put it in the sun. Then I figured that this yeast is just pitched at temperatures that would kill other yeasts, and it kicked off sooner with a head start at the higher temperatures..

    Hi, I'm new into homebrewing, since I live in a tropical country, kveik seems a good option to start brewing with as I don't have to spend in a temperature controlling system. My only question is how can I carbonate my beer with kveik? do I use sugar in bottles like in other recipes?

      Yes, Kveik yeast can be treated just like a standard ale yeast when it comes to bottling (at least in my experience).

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am not quite sure about the question. A digital radiator would likely help to keep a cool area warm for fermentation. Ideally you would be measuring the temperature of the beer to account for heat generated during fermentation, where I would assume the radiator would be measuring the ambient air. I think you would have better luck using a seedling mat and a temp controller, but give the radiator a try. Just make sure you are using it in a safe way (that it does not get too hot, that the area is not too damp, etc.).

  • @filmscorefreak
    @filmscorefreak 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Anchor Steam was one of my favorites, though i don't think it was made with consistent quality. When it was at its best, the hop aroma was pleasing with a very good balancing bitterness, and mouthfeel was creamy-ish thanks to their cask-like carbonation technique. But when it wasn't outstanding it tended to be too caramelly or sweet with less aroma and sharper carbonation. And I read they only used base malt and crystal 40, but the color is a good deal darker than what we'd get with those ingredients, speculation is that either the boil adds some color and/or the flash pasteurization did it. Hope we get to see them on shelves again! And like you I also really miss the Christmas Ale, even though they changed it too much the last year. Great video!

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have heard that it is very good fresh on draft. I mostly recall getting bottles here on the east coast (and a 6-pack of cans most recently). I am also curious if something in their process adds color. With the addition of the 130 SRM Extra Special Malt, my beer was about the exact same color as Anchor Steam. Thanks for watching!

    S-33 is a yeast I have not used. I have seen some genetic testing that indicates it’s very close to Lallemand Windsor and Lallemand London. I notice Lallemand have recently stopped offering London. I’m also pretty sure London was the same strain they had previously sold as ‘Manchester’. I have used both Windsor and London and to me they were so similar I couldn’t really pick the difference. I fully expect S-33 to be basically the same as those 2. Interested to see this video

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is interesting that Fermentis wants to market S-33 as a "Belgian Ale" strain, where it does seem to be a lower attenuating English strain (though I know some Belgian strains came initially from English breweries). I have not used Windsor or London enough to say, but I suspect S-33 produces a beer very similar.

    I did a graf with DME and Voss Kveik in the garage and it was like 2 days and it was like too orangey and yummy. Almost too much character was fermented out. I liked it a lot for the heat in Phoenix. It seems to like stress. Maybe under-pitching is better?

    • @CascadesHomebrew
      @CascadesHomebrew 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have never made a Graf. General advice is that under-pitching and fermenting hot will increase the orange esters produced by Voss. I am not sure I have seen much difference from different pitch rates, but I have never tested that side by side.

    I've been doing this for a while, but finally got my first infection from recycled yeast. The yeast from the starter (Parent strain cellarscience English- an S-04 clone) seemed very healthy, and fermented very vigorously with almost no lag, but a couple days after it was done I got a white pellicle on top of the beer. That pellicle looked like an alien invasion out of a sci-fi movie, so my otherwise healthy yeast picked up a hitchhiker somewhere. I'm looking at all the things I may have done wrong. I used a loosely sealed jar full of trub, left it in the fridge too long, and opened it too many times. When I made the starter it was in a sanitized jar, but that ja was only covered with a sanitized dishtowel- enough to keep out bugs, but not enough to keep everything else out. Now I'm rethinking my whole process. Instead of jars, I'm going to use bottles. They will be sealed a lot better and handled a lot less while in the fridge. For the batch I'm brewing now, instead of waiting for the trub and pouring it into a jar, I drew off a bottle (my fermenter has a spigot) while the beer was churning away in the super-active phase of fermentation. That bottle is covered with rubber-banded, sanitized foil for now. When the ferment dies down it will be capped and go in the fridge with a label that says "yeast beer". Not as many cells as a trub cake, but I'm pretty sure that bottle is loaded with active yeast. I love the money I save, and I love the 4-5 hour lag time as opposed to waiting a day and wondering if the yeast was dead until it finally kicks in, but I don't want to go through another infection again.

      In the sample I tried before dry hopping, I got a bit of a banana flavor (classic bubblegum flavors are a mix of banana and strawberry flavors). If it is there in the final beer, it blends in with all the hop flavors. I get more of a touch of a clove character, especially in the aftertaste.

    Would you recommend Staljen in a Cascade blonde? The taste description from the company doesn't sound right, but others say Staljen produces a lot of citrus flavor, which could be good. Usually I have used US-05.

      I think it would be a great option for a light-to-medium hopped blonde ale. It worked well with the touch of Centennial that I had in this batch so I would think Cascade would also fit well. Good luck!

      Agree. I tend to purchase larger bags and store them sealed in my freezer.

    I've just done a 'pseudolager' with Voss this weekend (48 hours ago). I was going for getting a quick fermentation kick out of Voss, starting it at 32C/90F and then allowiing it to drop on its own from about 18 hours in. At 48 hours, it's now at 23C/73F. Part of my thinking, was that some of the hop character might be lost if I went for too long at the high temp - I've previously experienced that with Lutra. The plan is to let it continue to drop down to 18C/65F and then leave it there for about a week or a week and a half. Then Keg condition it.

    Do I need to fill my entire 5 gallon keg with sanitizer, or can I do like half filled and purge a few time to get the oxygen out?

    Did a primary fermentation with a saison yeast (belle saison yeast). Racked to secondary on a brett yeast (WLP655 Belgian Sour), let it go 6 months. Bottled half, then left the other half in the carboy, but added 3lbs of frozen raspberries to it, and let it go another 14 months(mostly because I forgot about it, or was lazy), then bottled with standard priming sugar. Should have added some champagne yeast to it, as it never really carbed well in the bottle. But dry as a bone. Still have 2 bottles of the raspberry version left, so sitting in bottle for about 4yrs, having sat that long they are carbed well enough now. Gotten out of brewing for a couple of years, mostly because I was tired of bottling, and my brewing partner got all weird and stopped drinking beer, and started making homeade wine instead. But got an Anvil brewing system for Xmas, so just itching to get going again! Just have to build myself a kegorator.

    Been debating getting into brewing for years, but didnt really want to do extracts. Been looking at all the spendy kits, thinking why is it so hard to just find a simple BIAB setup? This video was very informative for equipment needs as well as the basic process!
