Okay, so I made this beer in May 2008 and this is just the way I envisioned attacking this recipe. This made a nice beer, very much in the spirit of Dos Equis Amber Lager but this was before I was paying attention to things like water composition, pH and all of that so God knows if I would be able to make it better now. I didn’t even have good temp control back then… I was using a swamp cooler. Anyway, this is what I made:
[b]Dos Equis Amber Lager
5 lbs German Pilsner Malt
3 lbs Vienna Malt 4°L
1 lb flaked corn
8 ounces Crystal 120°L
4 oz Belgian CaraMunich
1.25 oz Hersbrucker pellets 3.3% for 60 mins
.50 oz Hersbrucker pellets 3.3% for 20 mins
White Labs 940 Mexican Lager Yeast
OG: 1.049, FG: 1.012, IBU: 22, SRM: 11, ABV: 4.8%[/b]
