I'm putting together a California Common:
Batch Size: 5 Gal
Boil Volume: 2 Gal
1lb Carapils (steep)
1lb Simpsons Crystal (steep)
1lb Dark Malt DME (5 min)
6lbs Golden Malt LMS (5 min)
1oz Cluster Hops (60 min)
1oz Northern Brewer Hops (5 min)
White Labs San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810
Two questions:
(1) White Labs lists the temperature tolerance of WLP810 as 58-65F. I can keep it probably around a constant 62. Will that continue to produce lager-like characteristics?
(2) The recipe is all but a copy of the Northern Brewer kit inventory which, when I looked around at other recipes, seemed about par for the course. Any suggestions?
