Hi all, I am relatively new to brewing, and this is my first post, but I am interested in making a Mexican style lager. I found what looks like a decent glutinous recipe and this is copied below.
6 lbs Pilsner Malt or American 2-row
2 lbs Vienna
1½ lbs Flaked Corn (mash temp 150°)
4.5 AAU of mild, German hops like Tettnanger or Hallertau
½ oz Tettnanger pellets for 5 minutes
White Labs 940 Mexican Lager Yeast
Original Link/Recipe: http://www.freewebs.com/kenlenard/recipes.htm
The biggest question is what grains to use. I was thinking a mixture of sorghum and malted buckwheat, but am not sure if this would the best choice and I'm not sure the best ratio/amounts to use. Any recipe suggestions are welcome.
Thank you. Thanks to all the posters, I have already learned quite a bit from this forum.
