I look for any excuse or theme to brew. I have 3 beers in secondary for St Patrick's day, now I am thinking about Cinco de Mayo. I do enjoy Mexican beer on a hot summer day, but I'm looking for something more interesting.
Any ideas? I have a vial of cry havoc yeast ready to make a starter....and my basement is cool enough for Lager....so I'm leaning towards lager. I'm looking for ideas. Maybe something with Agave Syrup? chipotle or Chiles? Lime? Tequila?
Since most Mexican Beers are essentially Vienna Lagers stretched with corn....I'm thinking of 5 gallons of something close to Dos Equis or Bohemia. Then perhaps split the batch and secondary part of it with chiles or chipotle?
Any ideas or input or recipe links would be appreciated...I am hoping to brew this in the next week to have enough time to lager.
