Recipe suggetions?

Post by Jim W » Mon Feb 25, 2008 7:47 am

I found a yeast that I brewed with this weekend, Wyeast #2112 California Lager Yeast. It's optimum temperature is 58-68. It is perfect for the temp of my basement during the winter 58 degrees. :D (I have had to shut the brewery down due to cold fermenting temps.) I brewed a California Common with it this weekend. My question is this: I would like to use this a few more times before spring, is there a recipe wheel that I can use to build a beer around this yeast? Can I just use a couple lager recipes and sub this? What will the changes in taste be? Also, I do extracts, so I will need to address that as well. If I have time at work, I may check Chris's website, and see if he has something. Cheers :?

Let me look, but I think I have a book at home that has a few recipes that could give you ideas. I will bring them Wednesday night if you like.

Also there are a few other yeasts that will work well at those temps, including German, Belgian, and Scottish Ale yeasts.
To Ale is human, to ferment divine.

Thanks, if you think about it, bring it. I am thinking about just brewing some batches and see what happens. The book would improve my odds.
