The end result are of the following water additions: MASH Water (4.6 gallons) Calcium Carbonate I choose a target water profile of Munich. I had my brewing water tested and plugged the numbers into Beersmith. However, what’s really different this time around is that I’m trying to a match Munich’s water profile. So that’s a bit different then my past Hefe’s. Mostly because I’m out of Pislen, but also because I’m curious what the end product will be like without it. However, this version won’t be traditional Wheat & Pilsen Malt recipe. Malt bill is simple, very little hops (just to enough for 15-20 IBU) and the rest is all about the yeast. Weissbier! Another favorite style of mine to brew. I’m going to enjoy this one… Cheers! PGB Common 5.5% I’ll have to see I can find Anchor Steam at my local craft beers shop to compare. The end result? A 5.5% Darkish Amber which does hit on some of the style characteristics of a California Common. My OG was 1.052, FG 1.010, and it only took three days to get there. Since I had Fermentis SafLager 34/70 on hand I just had to try my hand at this style. The bit that interested me the most is that’s it’s fermented with a lager yeast at Ale temperatures. It’s supposed to be a medium amber color (mine is a bit too dark) and have notes of carmel and toast. What exactly is a California Common? We’ll it’s a style of beer that Anchor Brewing is famous for making their “Steam Beer” is basically what this style was born from. This brew was inspired by the California Common (BJCP 16B). So you may need to adjust the schedule based on your system. Note my system requires 5 – 10 minutes to ramp up between mash steps.
I use a Grainfather so it’s easy for me to step mash. grain bill should consist of at least 50% wheat.I find following grain bill, mash, and yeast will make a decent hefe: Of those I’d say two batches pretty much nailed the flavor profile. I didn’t use Pilsen malt at all which proves you don’t need to use German malt to make a decent Hefe. The Dark Munich malt contributed a bit more color than is typical for a Hefe. I doubt anyone, other than myself, would be able to detect it. I couldn’t resist adding a little passion fruit extract at flame out. I love passionfruit and can detect it in the slightest amounts.
