Hi,
I plan to brew a Mexican Vienna lager tomorrow. Here is my plan:
OG: 1.053
SRM 15.5 ish
Yeast: W-34/70
IBU: 22
Grainbill:
8 lbs. Vienna Malt
1.5 lb instant grits
6 oz. C-120
4 oz. Chocolate malt
Hops:
2 ML hopshot - 60 min - 18.77 IBU
1 oz Tetnang - 5 min - 3.06 IBU
Thoughts? Does the C-120 and chocolate add too much roast/dark malt characteristic for the style? I also have C-10, C40, Honey Malt and CaraMunich that I have in stock. Would one of those work better? I can't find a lot on this style but I figured this would a good fall addition to my kegerator to replace my easy drinking cream ale.
