    Would you use the recommended Cells/ml for a lager, hybrid, or ale for a California common fermented at 60F?

    I'm not exactly sure what fermentation temperature the crossover between an ale/hybrid/lager occurs.

    I make 10 gallons of California Common each year. I pitch 2 tubes of WLP810 per five gallons or 1 pack 34/70. I have fermented these beers between 58-66 degrees. Most batches at 66 degrees. One of my favorite summer beers! Have fun!

    If you're using the SFL strain WLP810 or Wyeast 2112 then use the hybrid calculation. I've made it several times and gotten it to be indistinguishable from Anchor Steam, something I chalk up to temperature and pitch rate.
