Howdy All
Planning to make a Corona style beer tomorrow and just wanted to run everything by everyone so i dont screw it up (its only my 2nd beer attempt)
I stole it off here but the recipie is:
- 1 x Coopers mexican cerveza can
- 1 x BE2 mix 1kg
- 200g Dextrose
- 20g Cascade hops
- juice and zest of 2 limes
- and I've also bought 15g American Ale yeast in place of the kit yeast
Plan is to boil 1-2?? litres of water with the 200g of Dex and the 20g grams of hops for say 15 mins??
Strain and add this to the fermenter with the 1kg of BE2 and can of goo
How do u recommend I approach the limes?? I think the original recipie said to boil the juice and zest together with some water and then add this to the wurt as well?
Then the usual top to 23litres pitch yeast and let her sit. Is it best to stir the yeast in? or just let it sit on top?
Being in QLD and without a fridge or cooler, the best i can get my brewery/bathroom with plenty of ice bottles is to get the fermenter to 20-22 degrees.
Any hot tips/words of wisdom? Its my first use of hops and straying from the can recipie!
Thanks All
