Thanks for explaining the steam beer, never knew what it was. sounds like a good stepping stone beer from brewing ales to brewing lagers!
my fav beer is the steam ale{california common} i brew it more than anything else...love it..and this week i am gonna do another steam ale,as my keg is almost empty,thanks to two people who drank a few this evening

I expect 5.3 ABV, let’s see how it goes!
very well explained recipe and process. loved Anchor Steam when i was living in the states. now I'm back in Australia i'm going to give this beer a try!
I'd love to see a video of a clone of new Glarus spotted cow.
Great video! I’m going to tackle a California Common this weekend! Thanks for the info!
I'm in awe at how beautiful it is in your garden, what a lovely place to live. Wish I could brew somewhere like that!
Your brew helpers are very cute too, excellent stuff
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Everett Tobias instablaster ;)
@Travis Zahir Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Travis Zahir It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Everett Tobias Happy to help :D
Love your videos and how you teach and explain the process...just ordered a Steam brew and will use Palisade hops to mix it up!
Thank you Guy . if it's beer it's Very good!
outstanding. Next you should try Norwegian farmhouse ale. Subscribed! Cheers
Hii there. New subscriber! Any chance on getting details on water profile used for this California Common recipe? Cheers!
Great video, keep up the great work! Also would you be able to share that root beer recipe?
Here is a link to the kit I use. Currently out of stock, but check back after COVID is gone and I’m sure it will be back in stock.

that table is a bit sus man...great video!
next,how about doing a Alcoholic Ginger Beer,i have done three,using ginger root.light crystal malt,honey,juice from a lemon,,i need to look at my recipe and see if i did use honey,anyways i did a 9.5 litre batch turned out great..Cheers from Alberta Canada
It’s weird that you bring up Ginger Beer because that is one recipe I’m working on. The video should post in a few weeks.
@@fantasticfermentations5637 awesome
How long did you let it ferment?!
so i am looking for a recipe for a Kentucky Common Beer,i am sure i will find one,but my question is what is the difference between these two Beers,i have done the Steam Beer a few times and it's a favorite of mine
California Common is a steam beer, lager yeast at ale temps... Kentucky Common is an ale that is brewed at ale temps with American Ale yeast but it has a high percentage of flaked corn in the grain bill. Somewhere around 25% corn.
@@fantasticfermentations5637 thanks
I love watching yours and others recipes being made on youtube. My only problem is that you go to the trouble of putting recipes below the video but they are not clear of complete. I have several AG brews under my belt but your recipe is very sparse. Brew volume and hops in percentages?
Would be great if you considered beginners. We can follow recipes and even adjust them regarding efficiency. But we would appreciate a clear starting point.
We watch you and sometimes want to try it too. Thank you..
I can add percentages and add the IBU estimates for each hop addition. Brewing volumes can be different depending on your system. The standard is 1.25 - 1.5 quarts per pound of grain. I tend to use more than that with the Mash and Boil because a portion of the liquid is on the outside of the grain tube. So if I added those volumes, most people would have a very watery mash and prob overshoot the mash temp. Thanks for your support and keep the suggestions coming.
@@fantasticfermentations5637 so i use the mash and boil also.... so for your recipe here do you recommend i use 1.25-1.5 quarts of water or am i wrong?
Richard Cockerill I use closer to 1.5 because a fair amount of the liquid in the mash is on the outside of the grain pipe. So by going with 1.5 it gets the mash inside the pipe to the perfect consistency.
Boy, get yourself a stable table or some other kind of solid foundation. This will end up badly one day, especially with your little helpers being around.
Awesome Video!
