A simple recipe which highlights the value of fermentation temperature control. I fermented this at 58 degrees for five days, let it warm to 68 for a couple more, then kept it at 34 degrees for another full week. This really helped it get clean and clear. Deliciously simple amber recipe with pleasant lager characteristics. A little darker and redder than the trademark Steam beer.
