Once again, Dawg LB Steve has offered up another medal winning recipe with his version of a California Common. This recipe earned Steve a bronze in the 2015 Son Of Brewzilla home brew competition and is an outstanding example of this style.

I got pretty good at using LME before i went all grain. My lhbs sold it in bulk for something like $15 for a 6 lb container if you bought a certain amount and brought your own containers. They now sell the 6 lb containers for $22. I don't know if they still offer a […]
