California common recipe advice
I've seen one recipe with chocolate malt and one without. Obviously, it's going to make a big difference, what's the general opinion?

Mine didn’t ... but did have amber and Crystal

Re: California common recipe advice
Gut instinct - I'm making a CC soon and I've settled on:
3800g Pale
200 Caramunich
250g Flaked maize
20g Choc malt
All Northern Brewer hops, naturally, and CML Cali Common yeast.
It may be nothing like the real thing, but it'll be nice with or without the label.

And this is a golden variation from Linden Street Brewery in Oakland, which I've brewed a few times and can recommend. Slightly adapted to use 500g each of special malts rather than 10% as per the recipe.

Re: California common recipe advice
I do a steam beer as a starter for any larger I do, fermented at 20°C.
90% Pale, 10% crystal and hop with Northern Brewer at 60 (50%), 30 (25%) & 0 minutes (25%) to 33 IBU.
I've tried with various lager yeasts and always come out well.
Cheers,
Jamie
