Ingredients are based on all I could find out about how the Anchor product is made. It’s also kraeusened and cold conditioned since this is part of Anchor’s process.

What yeast are you using for this brew?
I really like that copper color and natural carbonation in the head. Looks delicious.
Using the Wyeast 2112 (supposedly the Anchor Steam yeast). Tried to keep it as close to the original as possible (as far as what we know). The kraeusening usually helps to build a nice lacy head and I seem to notice that most Anchor Steams’s that I purchase exhibit a pretty decent level of carbonation and a long-lasting rocky white head. In the future, I may opt for using domestic crystal malt. I think that would be more “authentic”. In this version I used English crystal and the color seems juuuuuust a tad darker than the model brew when compared side-by-side in the same style of glass. ….when are you wanting to pop over and have one!?
We had Anchor Steam on tap at work last week and it really is a stellar beer. I haven’t had one in a long time until then and I have to say your beer color and head look really close to what we had. I can’t wait to try it!
Cheers
