Mexican Cerveza (1.7kg) is inspired by the crisp lagers of Mexico — see the spec panel above for the beer's own profile. Not to be confused with the Coopers DIY European Lager or the plain Coopers DIY Lager; this one's built specifically to be drunk very cold with lime, not sipped slowly.
What's Included
A 1.7kg tin of hopped lager malt concentrate with a sachet of yeast under the lid.

What Equipment Do You Need?

Tips for Best Results
- Use 1kg Brewing Sugar or Brew Enhancer 2
- Upgrade the yeast to Saflager W-34/70 — a true lager yeast that ferments cleaner and colder than the ale yeast included, giving the crisp, refreshing character this style is all about
- Use Beer Finings for maximum clarity
- Bottle with Carbonation Drops
