I've really been enjoying negra modelo lately. I'd like to have a staple beer that is basically a quick-finishing mild with negra modelo-like characteristics.
Obviously I can't make an ale that tastes exactly like a lager. The goal here is to have something that could possibly go from grain to glass in 3 weeks. I was thinking of a bastard beer something along the lines of this:
4 lbs 2 row (it's cheaper than MO or pils)
2 lbs vienna
.5 lbs carafa II
.25 lbs roasted barley
1 oz hallertauer@60
nottingham yeast (cause its cheap and chainsaws through beer)
1.036 OG
19.4 IBUs
24.5 SRM
Surprisingly, it falls within style guidelines for a mild.
I looked at some negra modelo recipes and basically just tweaked them a bit to make a roasty mild. Edit: also, I don't care if it isn't exactly the color, I want it to be black. Any imput, thoughts, or suggestions? Never done anything like this before.
