SWMBO is stepping into the fray and wants to make a corona type brew. She picked up a Mexican Cerveza (sp?) Barons kit (liquid) and asked how to make it taste like Corona....personally I can't stand Corona or Sol, but SMBO! Any hints/tips for this type of brew?
You will find the kit has a lot more taste than both Corona and Sol. You could try Rice syrup to lighten the flavour or a light flavoured honey (it also increases the alcohol) and try a liquid yeast. You could try the California Larger or Mexican Lager. The California ferment at a higher temp (up to 68F)the Mexican is a lower temp lager (up to 55F). Also let it sit in the secondary longer. Mine right now is going on 6 weeks. Hope his gives you some help. Let us know how it turn out.
I am quite familiar with Trespass... "and will I wait forever beside the silent mirror and fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds and slimy waterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr? I-I-I-I-I... I-I-I-I-I said I want to sit down.... I want a drink... I want a drink......", as well as Foxtrot, Selling England, the Lamb, all the way up to Calling All Stations. I was actually quoting a line from "Twilight Alehouse", which was a single, released as a Selling-England-period B-side back in 1973-74, however I believe it was performed live as early as 1971-ish, and is no doubt available on some bootlegs. Unfortunately, it is not available on any of the studio albums, but you can now find it on the 4-disc Archives boxed set. Quite a good tune.
