Howdy! I'm hoping some people would chip in a few suggestions or ideas based on a recipe I am trying to come up.
I am doing research to try and build the recipe myself including amounts, but due to my inexperience with a lot of hops and grains since this will be my 2nd brew, I am not sure what would be best (going off of "Descriptions" of each item)
I want to do a California Common (Steam) beer partial extract with a bit of a Cream ale twist which as far as I can tell, is adding corn or rice adjunct.
So far, I have been thinking:
Grain:
Vienna or Pale Ale malt (not sure if 2 or 6 row)
Flaked Corn
Not sure what to do for the Malt extract. I'd love to use more grains less extract, but I am still limited to a 5 gallon brew system.
Hops:
Northern Brewer (seems to be popular for steam beers)
Brewers Gold?
Yeast
Wyeast California Lager 2112
Thank you for taking a look. I'm doing some reading so I can figure out what percentages of each I need, but like I said, due to my inexperience with the different grains and hops I just don't know what would go well with this, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear it.
