Next Brew – Mexican Cerveza

1344 days ago

For my next brew, I am seriously thinking about making some Mexican Cerveza. One thing I heard about Mexican Cerveza is that it is a beer/lager especially made for sunny weather. We all know how Mexico is right? I mean from the movies. Most of us have never been in Mexico. We see that Mexico is some sort of a warm, dusty country with a lot of bars and people with big mustaches who can’t really speak English. And if it works for Mexicans, it should work for Singaporeans, for in Singapore, it is just like Mexico. The people here can’t speak a word of proper English and it is warm and dusty. So what better than to cool down after a hard day’s work by drinking some nice refreshing Cerveza eh? As I said before, life is great if you make it great.

So I guess I will be ordering the Cooper’s Mexican Cerveza kit these few days. I will be doing this yet another for a friend. He wasn’t really too particular with what he and his friend is drinking but I guess first impressions last, so I think I will be a bit more conservatives. For this Cerveza brew, I will be getting the 1.7kg Cooper’s Mexican Cerveza beer goo and the 1kg Cooper’s Beer Enhancer 2. That’s what Cooper’s recommend and that’s what I will be getting. Surely if the recipe is recommended by Cooper’s, we won’t go wrong there. But I am guessing that there will definitely be ways to improve on the pretty simple recipe. Maybe I will be adding some hops to it as well. Some people recommend Cascade hops which is a bit fruity and just right for a Mexian Cerveza. Well, I might be trying that just for the fun of it.

If you guys remember, one of my previous beers I made was the Australian Pale Ale. And after conditioning it for about 1 month or so, I will be sending it for a taste test at my friends’ bbq lunch. Hopefully, everyone will leave with some great impression about home brewed beer. Those two batches had some pretty strong alcohol in it but that could be a problem. A lot of them are driving and I am rather worried. So the best thing to do is to bring about just 3 bottles of beer instead. That should limit the amount of alcohol consumed to a safe level for people to drive home.
