anyone have a good corona clone recipe

[grampamark]

No I think that is Steam Ale. Ales done with lager yeast but fermented at room temp.

The cream ale recipe I’ve been brewing for years, and pretty much every other cream ale recipe I’ve seen, uses a lager yeast. I usually use 34/70 but have also used WY 2112.

California Common, AKA steam beer, is also an ale fermented with lager yeast at ale temps.

Cream ales are like kolsch in that they are originally (though the category is so broad nowadays like most) lager style beer made using top fermenting ale yeast.

Just looked at 10 recipes, All but one used an ALE yeast.

Cream ale is just a very light pale ales.......

And usually (perhaps always) contain some corn or rice adjuncts.

And usually (perhaps always) contain some corn or rice adjuncts.

And usually quite lightly hopped. Hence my comparison to Mexican style "Corona clone" lager recipes.

OMFG USMCRUZ is back!!!
Seriously, quit with the buzz kill, nothing worse then harsh bud . . . err brew talk.[

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the recipe for Corona to mix 1 can of Buttwiper, 1 can of Swiller, and 1 can of Soors and mix in 5 gals of water, add in 1 packet of dry yeast and ferment in full sunlight?

Unfunny beer snob.

 

[Pkbomb]

have you guys actually tried an unskunked Corona? it's actually not that bad, I love them on a hot day

Brown bottle (not skunked).

For 4 bucks per six or a buck per "caguama" (big brown bottle). Why you would like to make a clone?

PS: Im the past I've been to a Modelo plant and they were brewing a Corona at the time, basically they use six row pale malt and corn. Don't use fresh neither pellet hops, they use saaz hop oil, and that's it...

All I taste with Corona is the skunk, but I've only had it from a clear bottle. It probably starts out as decent beer but I've never sought out cans to test that; if I want canned macro lager I buy Hamm's or Busch on sale.

I refuse to buy bottled beer in clear or green glass. Cans only if they have a visibly printed date indicating freshness.
Some of the Mexican beer (Modelo Especial) is, in my opinion, superior to American lagers and I think the hate for Mexican extra light lagers stems from the lightstruck quality and a perceived lack of body.
I bottle my low SRM beers made at home with noble varieties (Saaz, Liberty) and do blondes with a rare Citra sometimes, taking pains to avoid the light simply because I believe skunking is a flaw in light beers. The lighter SRM, low ABV beers don't tend to age well unless you store them properly.

I'm not generally a fan of Corona, but it does taste better on a beach in Mexico.
Maybe because it's fresher, but maybe everything tastes better on a beach in Mexico.
