Hello there!

Can anyone recomend a good Mexican Lager? I know coopers do one but are there any others that are any good?

Cheers!

Hi,

Coopers for me too. Perfect brew for the summer with a slice of lime. Need to get one on myself for when the sun arrives [-o<

Well leyland homebrew shop said you must brew this kit with a beer enhancer which is what I did and came out really good.

I made mine with brewing sugar (dextrose) and super primed it with over 300g of sugar. Sounds a bit mad but I like my summer lagers served super cold which suppresses the fizz. I also have a steel fridge so don't have to worry about exploding bottles :!:

Hi!

I've not tried it but I know that Morgans (another Aussie company) do a 'Cortes Cerveza' kit...

FWIW I also bulk prime my lager 'bigtime' using about 200g of caster sugar lol
although this doesnt seem to be excessive!

Thanks for the advice. I'll go with the beer enhancer with this one then.

Cheers.
