Are you a light or dark Mex Lager fan? Sound off! 🍋‍🟩🍻

@ComputerGameAmbience 13 дней назад

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.

@richard_aguirre 11 дней назад

Amber and dark.

@CityscapeBrewing 10 дней назад

In the summer... lighter with the lime flavor, any other time of the year, I go dark!

@gregwinterburn83 13 дней назад

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.

@TheBruSho 13 дней назад

Sounds so refreshing!

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!

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! 🍻

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

@TheBruSho 7 дней назад

@Aleph_Null_Audio 12 дней назад

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!

@claytongarred3870 12 дней назад

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%

@TheBruSho 11 дней назад

Sounds like a delicious beer Clayton!

@320jetstream 13 дней назад

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?

@TheBruSho 13 дней назад

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.

@louiswilliams9793 12 дней назад

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.

@TheBruSho 12 дней назад

For sure and toss in a bit more choc malt so you nail that color. Unlike me!

@AM2PMReviews 12 дней назад

what is better: Modelo Negra or XX Amber?

@TheBruSho 11 дней назад

Oooh tough one! I'll have to try both side by side

@shanepurnell3255 12 дней назад

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

@TheBruSho 12 дней назад

I do, I feel like it also helps wrap up fermentation so it’s easy enough insurance

@OZKOutdoorBrewing 13 дней назад

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 🍻

@TheBruSho 13 дней назад

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.

@mutantryeff 13 дней назад

@5:00 it became a Finnish beer instead of a Mexican Cerveza?

@TheBruSho 13 дней назад

Haha, now that would be quite the twist

@thatwasinteresting3319 11 дней назад

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?

@TheBruSho 11 дней назад

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

@Thegoatbirdman 12 дней назад

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.

@TheBruSho 12 дней назад

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

@Thegoatbirdman 11 дней назад

@@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?

@MarkKurtz-pr7cc 13 дней назад

Personally, I’d skip the lime and reduce the Pilsner and add Munich. I’ll have to give this a try!

@juvenalhernandezjr4097 9 дней назад

Modelo Dunkel 🤙 noice!!

@djn3kkid 13 дней назад

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.

@TheBruSho 13 дней назад

Great call! I’ll have to try that

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.
