Ade1525228620 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Followed the recipe as per the kit with BE1. Temp controlled at 25 for 6 days in keg. Then at 25 for 7 days in a heat box. Good colour and head but the beer is way too light on taste and I suspect on alcohol too. Any ideas? This is not normally my sort of brew - prefer lager/pils/stout - but was helping out a mate. Won't do the cerveza again unless we can work out how to give it a bit more bite. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'd brew it (or any ales) at 18-20C if I was you Ade. 25C is too hot, especially if you have temp control. The cerveza is similar to a corona so it is never going to taste amazing. I had a few goes at tweaking it but was never that impressed - but I'm not really a corona fan (too boring).

Guest Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 As Muddy said ~25C is just too hot. You will get a better beer at around 18-20C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
