Description
Your Tacocat Mexican Cervesa is a light-bodied Mexican-style cervesa that gives you a refreshing crisp finish. The Munich liquid malt extract and Pilsen dry malt extract provide the malty backbone while the flaked maize contributes a touch of sweetness. Vienna and biscuit malts add bready notes, and the Tettnang hops deliver subtle bitterness for balance. The NovaLager yeast ferments clean at cooler temperatures.
Your Tacocat Mexican Cervesa kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.

Instructions
Hop Schedule
- 60 minutes: .5 oz. Tettnang (Bittering)
- 30 minutes: .5 oz. Tettnang (Flavor)
- 15 minutes: .5 oz. Tettnang (Aroma)
- 5 minutes: .5 oz. Tettnang (Aroma)
- Heat 2-3 gallons of water to 155°F.
- Place grains in a grain bag and steep in the hot water for 30 minutes.
- Remove the grain bag, sparge (rinse) with warm water into the wort, and discard.
- Add the malt extracts and stir until fully dissolved.
- Bring the wort to a rolling boil.
- Add the hops according to the hop schedule.
- Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- At 15 minutes add Yeast Energizer / Irish Moss Combo Packet.
- Cool the wort to 68°F. An immersion chiller or ice bath works well for this.
- Transfer the wort to a sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water to 5 gallons.
- Pitch the yeast and seal the fermenter.
- Ferment at 50-68°F for 10-14 days. This yeast performs well at a wide range of temperatures, being on the cooler side is best if you have the ability to do so.
- Transfer to a bottling bucket and stir in 5 oz. priming sugar. Mix until evenly distributed and bottle your beer.
- Once bottled, allow 2 weeks for carbonation in a cool, dark room. Enjoy!
