ozale Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The wife just asked if I would brew her a nice beer for xmas/summer, knowing her taste is low bitter, light colour and maybe just a hint of sweetness I thought I might try the following. 1.7kg coopers mexican cerveza 500g LDM 500g Honey 300g dry wheat malt 200g Dex 25g cascade steeped kit yeast? 23L ferment temp 20c any feedback?

Muddy Waters Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I don't use honey so I can't offer advice on that but I would suggest using Canadian blonde rather than the cerveza for a light cooured brew. Where are you hoping to get sweetness from? You may want to up the malt content fro this. Cascade can be a bit 'in your face' for some - maybe go for nelson sauvin, amarillo or motueka for a bit of fruitiness which add to the perceived sweetness factor.

weggl Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That's what I said about Yak, its the Cascade that's "in ya face"! Muddy, what does this word mean? "cooured" GOTCHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasond4 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I would also go with the Canadian Blonde, half the amount of honey and finish off with some Saaz hops all fermented with a lager yeast. Nice, light and refreshing for the Ladies or the Metro sexual?[innocent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozale Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks guys, the reason for thinking of using the cerveza was because of the lower bitterness but keep the ideas comming I might even try several of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
