my question, somewhat unrelated to making this beer, is why the hell did mexico ever start making lagers with as hot as it is there? Seems to me that drinking preferences are highly influenced by climate & what was practical to make given an areas climate prior to glorious refrigeration. Or are corona, tecate, dos equis, etc not actually lagers?
ellicit said:Yes I am keeping this thread going. I happen to like Corona! Gotta say the Munton's Mexican Cerveza kit with an upgrade to the yeast to WhiteLabs Mexican Lager yeast and a little indirect sunlight in the secondary makes for a near perfect clone actually I like it better than Corona or Sōl.
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?
had a good laugh at that.... got a buddy who pays $45 a 24 3 x a week for that crap.
Piss in a bucket and leave in the sun for 48 hours... Bottle

you are correct that drinking liquid yeast is better than drinking corona. sorry to hear about your wife's affliction.
Wow this thread has more lives then your average cat LOL
That may be the single funniest thing I've heard all year. As odd as it sounds, while I am partial to lambics, rich browns, stouts, sours, etc, etc, there is something about a Corona and a squeeze of lime that keeps me coming back. Indescribable, I know.
Can we lay off the beer snobbery and get the guy some answers instead? We get it-- some of you don't like corona.
Man, mega thread dredge. I don't get all the posts putting this dude down. If he wants to brew it, there's got to be a way. It might take hours of research and lots of tries to get it close, and it may not even be possible for him to do, but maybe he WANTS a challenge? Isn't that a big part of it for a lot of people? Brewing a recipe that's as close to a commercially available option as possible? Ultimately haven't we all attempted to do just that? That's the spirit of homebrewing if you ask me.
