As you can see, Common People is a fair bit darker than Anchor Steam.
I wanna sleep with common people

Good work :thumb:
And the CML CaliLager yeast? Flucctuation? Clean tasting? crisp and lager like?

All looks good:thumb::thumb:
Have some of the yeast so will be doing two small 5 litre brews out of the one packet:)

My cali common looks exactly like yours! It is however still playing up a bit in terms of the yeast disturbing on pouring. Taste wise it's improving. For the time being it's been a signed to the naughty box....

It's definitely clean and malty, I think it's too early to really tell how crisp it is. Seems pretty flocculant but not as much as I first thought.
I plan to leave it untouched for a month or so now (I have 2 and a half minikegs to get through, and I have 2 nights out this month),so I'll report back when it's conditioned.
+1 for the malty! I was quite surprised by the flavour of this!

Cool. Thanks :thumb:
Have you come across the bulldog brewing CaliLager yeast? Might be one to try in a version of your common people. There's not much info on the bulldog yeasts because of the ease of availibility/cheapness of the CML yeast

Yeah I've only used NB. I'm very much of the opinion that you shouldn't change the hops in a Cali Common, NB is what makes it what it is. I used to think I was a bit weird but apparently the guy from Brulosophy has said something similar.
