Batch #2 is on tap. Fermented 5 gallons with the Mexican yeast and 3 gallons with a dry Swiss yeast #189. The Swiss is maltier and a bit boring. The Mexican yeast is a killer. Won't last past next weekend!

13 lbs Pilsen (1.8 SRM) 43.3 %
10 lbs 8.0 oz Vienna Malt (3.0 SRM) 35.0 %
3 lbs Corn, Flaked (1.3 SRM) 10.0 %
3 lbs Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) 10.0 %
7.0 oz Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) 1.5 %
1.0 oz Carafa Special II (415.0 SRM) 0.2 %
0.60 oz Northern Brewer [9.00 %] - Boil 90.0 min 7.3 IBUs
4.00 oz Crystal [3.20 %] - Boil 60.0 min 17.4 IBUs

It's a crowd favorite. A CT Grand Judge even thought highly of it. Taste is somewhere between Dos Equis and Negra Modello...but better! The Mexican Lager yeast is a must!

Quick question - after the D-rest at 63-64F - when you rack to the secondary - do you gradually bring the temp down to 32-35 OR do you just stick it in the ferm/lagering chamber at that low temp?
