I do have a pic of the last pour and it cleared up a lot ... still a little murky but much better than the floaties in some of the first ones I had ... I'll try to post it soon on a differnt site and put a link here.
this beer was really very very good with mexican food ... I am changing a couple things about it (mainly just adding some corn as many negra clones seem to have some) and brewing it again next brew day ... probably this comming monday ...
I have now have a johnson controller and a freezer so I can lager it for a few weeks this time ... here is the new recipe ... cheers all !!!
thanks for that idea ... I think I am going to use the kolsch next go around, but I'll give that a try later on ... now that I have a way to control ferment temps, I have so much I want to try ... cheers !!
I was thinking about something similar, but adding corn sugar which is likely in negra modeling, and using wlp080, which is a ale/lager hybrid with room temp fermentation range.
I know its been a while but I wanted to update this recipe and let folks know its an awesome beer .... I now have a fermentation chamber and I can lager the kolsch yeast ... for this beer I do a 10 day primary and a 2 week lager at 36
Try this recipe if you like negra modello ... you will be happy ... cheers
