Are you a light or dark Mex Lager fan? Sound off! 🍋🟩🍻
I have a lime hop i think its diffirent, and its foul, like for 5 gallons adding more than 3 pellets is overkill, it ended up being a warhead beer.
🍺 🍋🟩
Def a negro modelo fan, always keep some in fridge "to cook with", he he... making a newky brown clone at this time, but this inspires me to make a dark lager next.
Amber and dark.
In the summer... lighter with the lime flavor, any other time of the year, I go dark!
I made an amber Mexican lager with lime about month ago. Color came out spot on with a pound of light Munich and half pound of caramel 120. Definitely my summer beer.
Sounds so refreshing!
I have never seen the color corrector product... interesting. I just brewed the lighter style Mexican lager myself with the same yeast and Motueka Hops. That vid will be out in a few weeks! Cheers! 🍻
Oh I'm excited to see your take on it!
Trent - I just made your session hazy recipe with some tweaks to base malt & yeast (2 row and Lutra … to take advantage of the heat wave). It’s a home run thanks dude …. Gotta try this one too this summer! 🍺🍺🍺
Negra Modelo is a top 3 beer for me! And I always add a lime…great idea putting it in the beer ahead of time!
Nice dude! My go to for every taco order!
There’s just something about a darker lager…so good and so underrated
Looks great braj!
Feels good to get a vid out!
Victoria in the bottle (when fresh) is my preference of Cerveza
Definitely gotta try this one!
Looks delicious. The wife and I always reach for the Modelo Negra this time of year so this brew looks right up our ally.
Heck yeah dude, say hi to the fam from us! Hope you have a great summer
@@TheBruShoWill do and right back at ya! If you guys ever find yourselves out this way, don't be strangers!
Now I'm contemplating a Munich dunkel based beer with a heavy dose of citra and maybe Amarillo or lemon drop.
Thanks for the inspiration!
pefect abv for the summer 4.5
Nice. My brother-in-law (who is from Mexico) has asked me to make a clone of Modelo Negro. This came at the perfect time!
Heck yeah! Just make sure to adjust the choc malt to get the color right and you're golden!
Great call for this time of year!
Cheers
Great idea adding the lime zest, yum! 🍻
I've been looking for a modelo recipe. Love the simplicity of this one will definitely give it a go. Might chuck some Munich malt in.
For sure and toss in a bit more choc malt so you nail that color. Unlike me!
If I drink a commercial Mexican Lager , like you. Negra Modelo.
I have Dunkel that's to die for.
It’s the best option IMO!
I love a modelo Negro. I tried making a version of it last year when I had only been brewing for 4 months and it was good but not quite right. Ive been debating on trying it again for sure. I like the idea of lime zest. I just sampled my IPL Ive been lagering for 3 weeks and wow it was tasty. 2 more weeks lagering then Ill be serving that and my first schwarzbier and the truckee brew fest
Ooh solid line up man cheers!
lol great minds think alike, I made one pretty close 44% 2 row, 33% corn maize, 22% honey malt, 1oz saaz @60, .5oz @30, .5 oz Hallertaur @ 10 mins, I lagered it for just over 30 days, added 1 whole lime at flame out zested and what not. came out to a beautiful amber red super light tasting and crushable finished at 4.6%
Sounds like a delicious beer Clayton!
Dark Mexican Lager for the win, let’s go!!! Great video as always bro! I think I spotted a Hollyland Lark mic on your shirt at the beach. I’ve been thinking about grabbing that myself. Your audio sounded great to me, what are your thoughts and would you recommend? Cheers 🍻
Good eye! Highly recommend, simple to use and love the charging case. I've been using pro level lav mics my whole filmmaking career and these are by far my fav.
Love the lime addition but I would be worried about infecting the beer. Did you take any steps to prevent that? I understand the juice might be too acidic to support bacteria but the zest would concern me. Thoughts?
Valid concern but I think the pH of the beer and the juice is low enough to prevent any issues. But you could always tie some flavorless floss to the bag and pull it once the flavor is to your liking.
@@TheBruSho Thanks! Very much appreciate your vids and advice.
Modelo Dunkel 🤙 noice!!
Just curious because I'm new to the lager process, did you do a diacetyl rest during fermentation? I hear about it a lot and was wondering if it was necessary. Also what strain of yeast did you use?
Thanks
I do, I feel like it also helps wrap up fermentation so it’s easy enough insurance
Did you put your chocolate malt in for the full mash, or the last 15? I want to try making a schwarzbier soon, but I don’t know if I should leave the carafa special II in for the entire mash.
I did the whole mash. But if you don’t want roast flavor and just color you could try adding it at the end. Although if I remember carafa is debittered so it shouldn’t be giving you much flavor
@@TheBruSho only worried about it being too toasty or astringent. Since I have a recirculating system, I am worried that any roasty or astringent notes may be exaggerated. Will that be the case?
Personally, I’d skip the lime and reduce the Pilsner and add Munich. I’ll have to give this a try!
@5:00 it became a Finnish beer instead of a Mexican Cerveza?
Haha, now that would be quite the twist
“Guys, it’s finally getting hot out there!”
*cries in AZ*
Hahah I pray for you 🥵
I feel that one. Not from Arizona, but today is 109 degrees 🥲 stay safe out there!
It’s been hot in northern Cali . 104 and plus in town, lucky I’m out of town a bit.😅
what is better: Modelo Negra or XX Amber?
Oooh tough one! I'll have to try both side by side
How does the beer not get an infection from the lime zest? Did you clean/sanitize the outside of the limes first before your zested them? Did the lime juice kill any potential pathogens on the zest?
I did wash and sanitize them before hand. But I’m guessing the ph of the juice and beer is what’s keeping it safe. Plus the cold fridge. If you are concerned about it just add it in the boil
I brewed once a beer better than American Budweiser.
That's the way!
I believe the quality of Negra Modelo has greatly decreased in the United States in recent years. Had it at a Mexican restaurant in San Macros a week ago and it tasted vaguely sour.
Oh on tap or bottle?
@@TheBruSho Draft. It’s usually one of the main draft beers in the Mexican restaurants I eat in San Diego.
could use something like Carafa Special 3. 10 grams or something would probably make it darker. Its saied to be adding little to taste and lots to color. I use a few grains on my lagers just to make it slightly darker, and currently experimenting with the ammount.
Great call! I’ll have to try that
I prefer the dark, no fruit added. The light, meh, can be better with fruits.
Humm for some reason I was unsubscribe... CZcams act weird sometimes! Time to bin watch what I miss
Welcome back!
