hey guys,
wanting to make a corona clone this monday for the hot months - even though by the time it lagers it'll probably be the end of summer but who cares haha.
* the rice is pre-cooked rice and the corn is instant polenta (thanks bribie for showing me about this). this is for ease and because i don't want to cook it up beforehand etc.
* i know i can make a cream ale instead for faster turnaround and everything, but i'm interested in making a lager, not an ale.
* 45 minute addition of galena is because i don't have fermenter room so can't chill. i'll be no-chilling it. aiming for about 17-22ish IBU. haven't bought the lager yeast yet but if i can't get this, are there any other ones that would suit?
* grist %s are from an earlier thread where Ross talked about this grist make-up being one he's used
* making an extra litre for a starter
* aiming for about 3.6ish% abv as it's being bottled and i'd like to keep it about 4.1 to 4.3% abv
any feedback is appreciated.
