I'm doing my first lager this weekend, and wanted to see if anyone had a clone recipe (all-grain) for a Dos Equis Amber or Negra Modelo? I told my wife I'd brew her something, and that's what she want's. Good summer beer w/ TexMex and TX BBQ! :cool:

Cheers!

Well it's not all grain, nor have I tasted it yet (bottle conditioning) but my local hbs had this recipe for what they call their Cerveza Negra (Modelo clone):

6lb Amber DME
.25 Black Patent
.75 60 L Crystal Malt
1oz Northerbrewer Hops (Bitter) 45 min
1 oz Czech Saaz (Aroma) 15 min
White Labs East Coast Ale

FWIW
 
hhmmmm....i might be able to work with that (minus the yeast)? let me know how it comes out.......
thanks!

Might be a good selection for the lager. To the recipe I had it was an ale anyways so...

I think your recipe might work very well as either an ale or a lager. I filed it away, as I might try it before the weather gets too warm to brew. :)

Can't help you with a recipe, but I recalled seeing White Labs Mexican yeast once and thought I would pass this along: http://www.whitelabs.com/ratings.asp?id=WLP940[/QUOTE

I got one from my HBS: (going from memory here!)
7 1/2 lbs. 2 row
1 1/2 lbs. 6 row
1/2 lb. flaked maize
1/4 pound cara-vienne
1/8 lb. special B

2/3 oz Perel @ 60 min (bittering)
1/2 oz Hallertauer @ 10 min (flavoring)
1/2 oz Hallertauer @ end of boil (finishing)
White Labs Platinum Mexican Lager Yeast
O.G. 1.050 F.G. 1.012

Plan on doing a 2 qt starter on Friday, brewing Saturday. Primary ferm at about 55 degrees, then to a diacytl rest @ 60 degrees for 1-2 days, then crash to 30 degrees for 3-5 weeks (If I can wait that long!)

Thanks for the feedback.......
Cheers!
