New Batch - California Common Lager (Steam-esque)

Our success with the porter made up ambitious, and we tried a steam type beer last weekend. This time I know the recipe we used, it is a slight modification of the recipe in the palmer book and goes as follows:

Malts:
8.5 lbs 2-row American base malt
0.8 lbs Crystal 40L
0.25 lbs Maltodextrin Powder

Hops:
Bittering 1 oz Northern Brewer (9.8%)
Finishing 1oz Northern Brewer (9.8%)

Yeast:
Liquid California Pilsner


As you can see in the photo attached we decided to attach a heating pad to the carboy, it's been kind of cold her lately and the yeast took a while to get going. Thankfully it seems like it is going strong now.

2 weeks til bottling. I'll try to post again with then.


UPDATE: Peter posted this, you can see it bubbling.
