You nailed it Justin. To many homebrewers are very impatient. I try not to touch my keg for no less than 4 weeks. But admit, when I started, back in the revolutionary war days 😁, I too drank it as fast as I brewed it. I'll have to give this one a try. Take care !

Great info Jus! I'd say the longest I've waited was purely by accident in that I didn't get around to bottling/kegging for two or three months. Haven't committed to a proper long game. Cheers!

Another great video. I made a similar Mexican Lager last March using Motueka as well, but I did a 30min hopstand with about an ounce of Motueka and that really seemed to enhance the citrus/lime aroma. I also lagered @ 3 Celsius for 4 weeks and, like yours, mine was super clear. Definitely will do this one again!

Definitely doing it again but this time with way more hops

I made this recently with Lutra Kveik instead of lager yeast and a touch of weyermann acidulated into the grist. Tastes absolutely incredible and is unreasonably easy to make. Thumbs up for this recipe!

Nice video and recipe. I think I may have came across this article about a year ago and did a motueka cerveza last May. I targeted 20 IBU with 8 at 60 min, 8 at 5 min and another 4 with a 30min whirlpool at 160-170F. Also dry hopped with 2 oz. Lagered for a month and this beer was great. A bit more hops/fruit than traditional but it was unanimously preferred by friends and family over a local craft cerveza as well as corona. I did this recipe after my first to push the hops a bit more just like you were thinking!

I saw your final gravity finished at 1.020 which is pretty high for a lager. How did the body of the beer turn out - was it too full? Beer looks amazing!

@JusBrewing 2 жыл бұрын

Not full at all actually. It did finish high and that's something I need to fix in my process but surprisingly it was still crisp and clean as you would expect a lager to be!
