Lágrimas de Cocodrilo
(Crocodile Tears) is our annual Summertime splash. At 4.5% ABV it's the ultimate "lawnmower" beer -- crisp, bready, with a tortilla-like backbone. Whether you add the optional lime and salt or not we leave entirely up to you.
This simple recipe produces a great drinking beer. It comes with a warm-fermenting Ale yeast (Nottingham).
If you have the ability to ferment at 12-15C (53-59F) then upgrading the to a Lager yeast is a great way to get the authentic Mexican lager crispness and flavour. The yeast upgrade includes 2 packets to increase the pitch rate which is required for a cool fermenting lager beer.
