Funky Mexican Lager Homebrew - NEW 20 Gallon System!

  • In this brewing video, we show you how to brew a traditional Mexican Lager at home. We're making this beer with a 20 gallon 240-volt brewing system in order to make 10 gallons of finished beer. This is a brew day video where our friend brews with us for the first time, so we'll teach you everything you need to know for your first brew day as well. Although, even advanced homebrewers can gain something from this homebrew video, especially the recipe which makes a full-bodied lager with lime flavor from the Hallertau and Motueka hops. Our goal was to use hops that could mimic the flavor of a lime that's usually put in Mexican beers like Corona and Tecate. In the middle of the video, we take a trip to the attic and install a pulley in our ceiling to lift our grain basket. Using a pulley to lift your grain basket makes brewing easier, especially if you're brewing alone. At the end of this brewing video, we can our finished Mexican Lager and take it to a local CrossFit gym to lift some weights. This lager recipe is super crushable, refreshing, and easy drinking. Make this for a spring or summer day and drink it while you're doing yard work, hanging out at the pool, tailgating, or having friends over for a cookout. We guarantee all your friends will like this beer. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, brewing equipment, and an interesting article about the history of the Mexican Lager style.

    hy, look to be a big nice system. Maybe for the final version you could add an elbow for the lid conection to avoid kink in the hose.

    2.)
    The mayans and aztecs would drink something called Pulque which is VERY similar to a sour wild beer but no grains mostly pineapple,agave, or maguey! In central and i believe south america they had something called Chicha, essentially a beer made with corn!

    Please...an urgent Question. Currently building a new brewery in SeouL, Korea.
    My understanding is that for the summer time... HVAC system for Brewery facility is of no problem since Fermenters and brites tank will be GLYCOL jacketed.
    But I learned that when brewing ALE beer types(which is mostly the case for craft brewing) the temperature shouldn't fall below 10 degrees Celsius during winter.
    Thus, my question is 1) is it necessary to install some sort of overall heating system for the brewing environment? If so, what type of system?
    2) And if it gets installed. Does it have to be turned on 24-7? I reckon it would be waste of electricity cost and all.

      Depends on how much you can lift... the pulley makes lifting a 10 gallon grain bill a lot easier. I would assume most folks brewing 10 gallon batches would have a pretty permanent setup either in their basement or their garage.

  • @davidkovarik483

    Hi guys, nice video, system and recipe. However I have two questions. 1) Why did not you use sparge water? 2) As I said, your brewing system is nice BUT I am wondering about that "sparger" at the end of the recirculation circuit. What I know, when you brew a beer, you want to reduce contact of hot wort with air to reduce oxidation of the beer. Your way is exactly the opposite. Do not you have any problems with oxidation in you beer? Good luck anyway and thanks for a good videos ;)

    • @SDB777

    • @davidkovarik483
      @davidkovarik483 Před 5 lety

      ​@@SDB777 Well, this is only half-truth. Oxidation of the wort/hopped wort (without yeasts) by oxygen can start after few hours. So if you will have lets say 1 hour mashing + some longer lautering/sparging (2 and more hours) can cause some oxidation. I am not saying this case will happen every time, of course. However, again - nice videos and brewing system ;)
