Steam Beer Making Kit

Steam Beer, also known as California Common, is a uniquely American beer style that blends crisp lager character with the approachability of ale fermentation. This beer delivers subtle caramel malt flavor, light toastiness, and a firm but balanced bitterness. Northern Brewer hops contribute minty, woody notes that define the style, while warm fermentation keeps the profile clean and smooth.

This complete 1-gallon beer making kit includes everything you need to brew from start to finish.
