Dawn Patrol, California Common

I HAVE A NEW LAGERING FRIDGE, there I said it and I want to use it.  So starting it off it's time for hybrid beer.  A California Common or a Steam Beer (Please don't sue me Achor Steam.) sounds right about right.  The recipe is a Zymurgy clone for the famous brew mentioned above.  The biggest concern I have is a huge starter and I have that covered. 

Here is the recipe:
