anthony m1 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hello All I'm putting together everything to knock up the Steam Beer recipe that is in the How to Brew section. My temps at home are just about perfect for this yeast atm. Just wanted to know from anyone that has made this one how it turned out and what their thoughts were on the style?

weggl Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Had a Mountain Goat Steam Ale in a joint in Manly called Whitewater,I think. It was named well because it tasted like Goat's piss. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 anthony, i really like anchor steam ale out of SF. tell us how your brew turns out. weggl, how does goat's piss rank up against rat's piss?[sick] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony m1 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks fellas I guess know one here has made it. I'm waiting on the yeast to arrive. As soon as I get it I'll make it. And let you know how it goes. I've also had the Mountain Goat Steam Ale. And wasn't too impressed. Grabbed it as Anchor is pretty hard to come by. I've since found out the goat is not really true to style, actually quite the opposite. Its brewed with an ale yeast at cooler temps. Where a true steam beer is made with a lager yeast at ale temps. It was also lighter and more Kolsch like than I expected. So Warren don't let the one you had turn you off the style. Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 weggl' date=' how does goat's piss rank up against rat's piss?[sick'] They taste similar but you'll pay more for goat's piss. Only the best for Warren [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 After making this recipe a couple of time at home and bringing some bottles into work for tasting panel, which were well received - I figured the recipe was good enough to include in a newsletter and on the Recipe Resource [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 PB2 - The "tastes like piss" portion of this thread is directed at a commercial variety of steam beer (critiqued by Weggl) not your fine recipe [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yes, I was merely looking to post a reply to the original post [innocent] The Anchor Steam, I've tasted, was very nice. Yet to taste the Mountain Goat version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Ahh, sticking to the OP is a bit foreign to me [biggrin] I'm yet to try any steam beer. I'm afraid I'll burn my mouth (groan [pinched] ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Paul don't bother, it aint worth the effort. Chad I think if they were to go before a panel the Rats might just scrape home.[pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Have to amend my judgment of \u201cSteam Ale\u201d. I was judging it on the mountain goat stuff. Had one in a pub in manly and I must admit it was far superiour to the mountain goat. See my post on Whipper Snipper Mk2 it is close to the one I had in Manly. Cant find the recipe for Steam Ale in the How to brew section. Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardC2 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The Anchor Steam beer is also known here now as California Common. It's a popular style out there. You could try researching the recipe under that name on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien E1 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Paul don't bother' date=' it aint worth the effort. Chad I think if they were to go before a panel the Rats might just scrape home.[pinched'] Agreed, had one once at A Bar Called Barry in Collingwood, was so poor I switched to Carlton. A very strange and unpleasant beer. I'm relieved to find that it's not true to the Steam style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I agree Damien. I was glad the Mountain Goat Steam Ale wasn't true to the style and so I am still keen to try a Steam Beer. I don't like bagging out other people's beer too much (ie. those in glass houses etc) but I thought the Mountain Goat Steam Ale was pretty average. I still drank it though; I didn't want to waste my money[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hairy, you are being to kind to the Goat. Where to find Paul's Steam repice? Stop looking I've found it.[innocent] Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I let them off easy because some of their other beers are very nice. The Hightail Ale is a good drop. It seems you have finally found the recipe section in the "How to Brew" link. Congratulations.[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Found it months ago, just forgot. Forgeting is not a problem its only when you remember that you have forgoten that you have a problem[innocent] [roll] [crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Had a Mountain Goat Steam Ale in a joint in Manly called Whitewater,I think. It was named well because it tasted like Goat's piss. Warren I wish I took note of all your mumblings a little earlier as I had the same experience. I could't finish it, it was that bad. I thought it tasted like it was light struken tho. Which I put down to how the beer was stored (under UV lights at the front of the glass windows at the shop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB2 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 If you are yet to make the recipe, I urge you to give the Steam Beer a go - it might not be exaclty like Anchor Steam but it certainly makes a good brew [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
