Took a road trip to John’s house for a 10 gallon split batch of Mexican Lager. Started in the morning before the heat got up there.

Rice hulls are needed for this one

Look how compact this bed got,, but those rice hulls saved it!

That corn was trying to boil over!

Starting the chill 

wouldnt be a brew at Johns without an strafing run

we made it!

UPS drops off 3 more beer kits!

Almost forgot the recipe

10 gallons yet unnamed Mexican Lager

• 11 lbs Vienna
• 3 lbs pilsner
• .75 lb 60L crystal
• 4 lbs flaked corn
• 2oz Tettnang @60 (see below)
• .5 oz saaaaaz @30 (see below)
• 34/70 lager yeast

(the recipe called for only the 2oz of 6% Tettnang hops, but the ones we had were only 3.7% so we threw in the extra 7% Saaaz to make up a few of the IBU, plus will add some flavor at the 30 mark)

Oh,, this was also going to be a taste experiment. John is fermenting as a usual lager would call for.  And I’m going to use the same 34/70 yeast in my half, but just gonna let it roll at my basement temp of 63 degrees and keg it up at my usual 4 weeks.
