It should have a corny sweetness but not an aggressive corn flavor. Buy flaked corn.

I usually wait two weeks.

Mexican Lager yeast sounds awesome!

Gentle whirlpool.

You want a salty IPA. Brew the IPA. At bottling add salt to taste. I think some of you are over thinking it.

One week in the fermenter is probably enough before bottling.

My translation... "Oxygenate with a 0.5 micron diffusion stone for 30 seconds, pitch yeast. Allow fermentation to ramp up to 76 degrees gradually over a 6 day period. When fermentation is complete at 1.010..." I think this brewer brewer may use a conical and has the ability to "dump" or drain...
