| Brewer: | Senor Tony | Email: | tony@brew-haus.com | |||||
| Beer: | Mexican Lager | Style: | Vienna | |||||
| Type: | Partial mash | Size: | 5.5 gallons | |||||
| Color: |
|
Bitterness: | 18 IBU | |||||
| OG: | 1.051 | FG: | 1.012 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 5.0% v/v (3.9% w/w) | |||||||
| Water: | .75 tsp. Gypsum .125 tsp. Salt .25 tsp. Chalk .5 tsp. CaCl |
|||||||
| Grain: | 1 lb. Carafoam 1 lb. German Munich 8 oz. American crystal 20L 8 oz. American crystal 40L |
|||||||
| Mash: | 90% efficiency | |||||||
| Did full mini-mash Spreadsheet says 90% efficiency! 122F protein rest for 15 min Raised VERY slowly to 148F. Held for 15 min Raised VERY slowly 153F (iodine test is good) Raised slowly to 165 to mash out |
||||||||
| Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.112 | 2.5 gallons | |||||
| 3.3 lb. Amber malt extract 8 oz. Rice extract 1 lb. Light dry malt extract |
||||||||
| 1 tsp. Irish Moss | ||||||||
| Hops: | 1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (5.2% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Saaz (5.3% AA, 30 min.) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | White Labs Mexican Lager | |||||||
| Log: | Efficiency was HUGE using the step mash Had to top off carboy to 5.5 gallons May lose some bitterness (from 22 to 18 IBU) |
|||||||
| Carbonation: | Forced CO2 | |||||||
| Tasting: | Bronze Medal Winner at Colorado State Fair (with BJCP Grand Master, Gordon Strong, judging)! Tastes really clean, smooth, and malty. Maybe a bit too malty (due to higher gravity and lower IBU than expected). Consider making a 1 oz. Saaz tea (15 min boil) to add to keg. |
