Notes: Fermented down to a FG of 1.010. Could be slightly dryer but otherwise delicious. Will try a side by side sample with the real thing to compare.
Side by side comparison reveals the original is much lighter in colour and dryer, but hop flavour is spot on. Next time skip the Munich and maybe replace with honey and try yeast with higher attention.

Notes: Recipe based on Brewing Network interview with Vinnie Cilurzo on the Sunday Session back in 2005, as well as information provided in "Brew Like a Monk" and Russian River's website. OG should be 1.066, abv 7%, attenuation 82%, single infusion mash 149-151, IBUs 25, with hops listed as Sterling and Styrian Goldings (13-15 IBU at 90 minutes, 7-10 IBU at 30 minutes, and 3-5 IBU at flameout/whirlpool). Possibly consider using Saaz as flameout hop. Russian River's yeast is a propriety version of WLP500 or Wyeast 1214. Pitch at 64F, allow to rise to upper 70s by the 4th day. Primary ferment should be complete in 7 days. Lager at 32F for 10 days to clear yeast. Re-ferment in Keg with additional sugar and bottling yeast (Russian River uses wine yeast). Also consider aging on oak chips for two to three weeks like Russian River does for Damnation "Batch 23". Trying the Ardennes yeast first for this one.

Notes: Grains added at about 40 degrees as water was heating, for mini acid and protien fly bys!
Single decoction mash used - 67 c Sach rest for full body for 60 mins, then about 6litres of grain with some wort removed for boiling. Decoction brought to boil, whilst main wort temperature raised for mash out slowly. Mash out at 75 c.

Started with 22.5 litres of water, after sparge there was about 24 / 25 litres, after 90 min boil and decoction, I was left with only about 18 litres and had to liquor back to get to desired SG and volume of 1.053 /54.

Next time start boil with more water.

Notes: Make Cream Ale to split to two fermentations - one ale yeast for Cream Ale Yeast, other California Lager Yeast to ferment at same temp (WLP810 or WYeast 2112). Style is cream ale with some common (steam) characteristics to go with the lager yeast.

Recipe to blend of both styles, include lighter crystal malt for toffee/honey flavor, some biscuitty-ness from biscuit malt. Mellow on specialty malts so nothing is overpowering, but builds in complexity.

Hop profile to include N Brewer (Pine/Herbal/Cedar) as a nod to the common style and some american hops (Ahtanum, Amaraillo, or Cluster) to bring some floral citrus/orange. Cluster for more earthy/floral/fruity or Amarillo for floral/citrus. Light hopping at end with a hopstand to round out lighter hop flavors on the palate.

Target a bitterness-to-starting gravity ratio (IBU divided by OG) of 0.6 to 1.0.
For flavor and aroma, add two or three later additions around 1⁄4 to 1/3 oz. per gallon (1 to 3 g/L).

California Common

http://brulosophy.com/recipes/whatre-we-here-for/

If you want to create your own example of the style, but still do well in competition, the safe thing is to try to play off a characteristic of the Anchor example, such as emphasizing the toasty, biscuit, or caramel character. You can also experiment with different hops, but I would avoid trying to play with the fermentation profile too much, as it is an important part of this style.

Anchor’s mash schedule is a secret, although reportedly it starts at 140 °F (60 °C). Historical steam beer brewers supposedly used a mash temperature of 158 °F (70 °C). If you are trying to copy the Anchor example, I would start at 140 °F (60 °C) and then raise the mash for a rest at 158 °F (70 °C).

The only specialty malt you really need for California common is crystal malt. You want to build a gentle but clearly evident caramel flavor and color. Use a mid-color crystal malt between 30 and 70 °L for up to 10% of the grist. If you want to develop more of a toasty/biscuity character, you can add a small percentage (< 5%) of toasted malts, such as Victory, biscuit or even pale chocolate.

Notes: This recipe started out as an extract brew we did a year ago. It was a big hit with the friends as it was a really clean beer. We decided to convert it over to an all-grain form for our first attempt at the full brew process (hence the lower efficiency).

Fermented for two weeks at 68 deg F. Transferred to keg and force carbonated at 20 psi for three days.

Little light on the palate, but a very drinkable beer in the end.
