Notes: Collect zest grapefruit; soak in enough vodka; use at flameout.
Use grapefruit juice for primary fermentation.
I used two grapefruits, and the flavor, in my pinion, was not potent enough. Will double on next attempt. |

Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 150°F (66°C) for 30 minutes or as long as it takes to pass the iodine test.
Sparge the grains with 168°F (76°C) water, topping up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.
Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, cooling the wort (if possible) to 180°F-190°F (82°C-88°C); add whirlpool hops and allow 10 minutes to steep and settle.
Chill to 60°F (16°C), aerate the wort, pitch yeast, and add nutrient (preferably including zinc). Also add first dry hops (see Brewer’s Note below).
Ferment at 62°F (17°C) for the first three days, then raise to 68°F (20°C).
Once primary fermentation is complete, wait an extra day, then dump/remove hops (or rack to secondary), and add second dry hops. After 2 more days, dump/remove hops.
Once the gravity has stabilized after any hop creep and the beer has passed VDK (see below), crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.7 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
Hop products: I used only flowable advanced hop products for the first dry hop—specifically, YCH Simcoe DynaBoost and YCH 803 Simcoe (an essential oil), in addition to the Abstrax Quantum. DynaBoost and 803 generally aren’t available to homebrewers, so I included the T-90 pellet equivalents in the recipe. YCH’s recommended conversion rate is 1:10, so at this scale you’d want about 0.5 oz (14 g) of DynaBoost. The Abstrax Quantum is available in 5 ml quantities.
Dip hop: With the DynaBoost, I use a version of Kelsey McNair’s method at North Park in San Diego. I take a small amount of hot wort from the whirlpool (for example, with a pitcher), mix in the DynaBoost with a handheld blender, then add the mix directly to the fermentor. I also add other hop products to the tank at this time, but not in the hot-wort solution.
Dumping hops: If you’re using a conical, you can continue to dump the hop/yeast trub from the cone. If you can’t dump the cone, relax, don’t worry, and have a homebrew.
pH: The dry hop load on this beer is very high, and that means the pH will rise significantly. If you can, before dry hopping, add phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to 4.3—that will help beer clear the hop creep–driven diacetyl more quickly. (I also recommend adding ALDC enzyme.)
Hop creep: On the day of the second dry hop (this is post-fermentation), take a gravity reading of the beer and note it in your brew log. Three days later, take another gravity reading and note it, and continue to do this each day—it will drop some due to the secondary fermentation driven by hop creep. Once you go two days in a row where your gravity hasn’t dropped, and the beer has passed VDK (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com), you can begin to crash the beer. |

Whirlpool at 170F.
Puree pineapple chunks, strain and heat at ~170 F for 5-10 min prior to adding to fermenter. This will denature the papain enzyme that can digest proteins and ruin head retention. (Thanks Isomerization!)
Add pineapple 48 hrs after yeast pitch (5 days).

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.
