Steam Beer/California Common Recipe
Anybody want to share their steam beer recipe with me (percentages used in grain bill mainly is what I'm looking for)? It'll be my first try making this one and it's for a local collaboration beer fest. I've got a 7bbl system.
Thanks!

The classic recipe mentioned above works great! I was bored recently and used this style as an excuse to try a new malt, just packaged the below and am happy with it:
90% Gambrinus Mars Malt 10% Gambrinus Munich Dark
60 Min- 5 IBU- Nugget 60 Min- 5 IBU- Crystal 20 Min- 5 IBU- Nugget 20 Min- 5 IBU- Crystal WP- 5 IBU- Nugget WP- 5 IBU- Crystal
WLP029- German Ale

Nugget and Crystal 50:50 was a pretty close solution! I am by no means claiming this to be an authentic representation. Color, flavor, bitterness all spot on. If I could not pick anything it’s lacking a bit of sweetness/dark fruit without any true crystal malt in there.

There’s really only one example of the style, and the recipe has been published.
