Mellow Mexicana

Ale - American Pale Ale
Partial

Brewer's Notes

1 x 1.7 Kg can of Coopers Cerveza, 100 g Dextrose, 50 g Powdered Corn Syrup, 50 g Powdered Lactose, 250 g Powdered Light Malt, 250 g Pale Malt grain ( lightly milled ), 20 g Spalt Hallertau Hops Pellets, 4 Tsp Yeast Nutrient, 1 Sachet Brew Cellar 'American Ale' Yeast. Add Grain to 3 litres warm water, sat for 15 min at 44°C then raised temperature gently to 50°C and held for 30 minutes. Brought pot to boil for 15 minutes then settled back to a simmer for 5 minutes, added Hop pellets and simmered for another 5 minutes. Strained all liquid into fermenter with wet and dry ingredients, added about 2 litres each hot and cold water in 6 stages via strainer with grain etc. then stirred well. Topped up with water, cooled to 26.5°C then pitched yeast. After primary fermentation finished - 'racked' across to second fermenter including 200g Dextrose and finings. Note: Fermentation kicked off straight away but was soon down to a very slow pace, once S.G. Steady and bubbles stop, bottle!, as soon as 10 days later ( yes ) thats what I said, drink. Actual S.G. 1038, F.G. 1010.
