  • Wyeast 2112 California Lager™

    Wyeast 2112 California Lager™

    Particularly suited for producing 19th century-style West Coast beers. Retains lager characteristics at temperatures up to 65F, and produces malty, brilliantly-clear beers.

Notes

Single step mash with 3.75 Gallons of strike water at 154 *F for 60 minutes. Mash out at 168*F to collect 6.5 Gallons. Boil to a finish volume of 5.5 gallons. Whirlpool to leave hot trub behind. Ferment at 60 *F until completed. Carbonate to 2.6 volumes. Spring is a good time to brew this beer. I ferment it in the basement by the cellar door and the temp is perfect.
