Opened A Bottle Of Mexican Cerveza!

1304 days ago

Just last week, I bottled the Mexican Cerveza and yes, I know, it is just too early to open up a bottle but I couldn’t resist myself. So today I went ahead and opened up a bottle of Mexcian Cerveza to have a taste. As expected there isn’t much carbonation even though the PET bottle was pretty firm to press. I guess even if the PET bottle was firm, it doesn’t really mean that it has the correct level of carbonation. However, the beer was pretty okay. I mean, it was okay to drink. Nothing great but I think it should go very well with my friends. I never expected this beer to be something extraordinary since all I wanted was it to be a refreshing and delicous drink for a warm day. Anyway, this is just a Cooper’s kit beer, so let’s not have our expectations too high eh?

Very nice golden colour. I had actually expected it to be even lighter than this. Perhaps it is because I took the photo in the wee morning and the sun is still not completely up yet. Yes, you can see a little carbonation but that’s about it.

Took a photo of the beer from the top. Nice head. It looks very foamy. It is just too bad that the head doesn’t last long.

Another photo of the Mexican Cerveza. Yes, from this photo you can see that there is hardly any carbonation left. This photo was taken right after I poured the beer from the bottle. That’s very pathetic if you ask me. Hopefully, there will be proper carbonation on the 2 week. I always assume that carbonation would be faster than the actual fermentation. But from what I read in the forums, it seems that it is not always true. Some brewers had good carbonation only after the 6 week in the bottle. In Singapore’s weather, it should be about 4 weeks or so. However, I don’t think my friends can wait so long for the beer to carbonate fully. Well…that’s life. Rush here, rush there.

Anyway, I will give you guys the heads up after I have shared them with my friends and see what they have to say about this. Remember that this is made using ale yeast instead of a lager yeast, so there might be some difference between a real Mexican Cerveza and this brew.
