This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners a
Notes
Hops were very old, so didn't give much aroma. Beer turned out quite good, although next time I'd add a little less bittering hops.

I've been drinking this batch for a few weeks now, and it's definitely my best ever. The hops are actually perfect for the style. The key to a good Steam beer is accurate fermentation temperature control. I kept this at 60 for 2 weeks then racked to secondary for 1 week, then bottled.
