Brewing Instructions
1. Mashing
In a large pot, heat 3 liters of water to around 70°C (158°F). Add the Pilsner malt and corn, stirring well. Maintain the temperature for 1 hour.
2. Sparging
After mashing, sparge with an additional 2 liters of hot water to collect the wort.
3. Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil and add the Saaz hops. Boil for 60 minutes.
4. Cooling
Cool the wort down to around 20°C (68°F) using an immersion chiller or ice bath.
5. Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter. Add the lager yeast and seal with an airlock. Ferment for 2-3 weeks at around 10°C (50°F).
6. Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of water and add it to the beer. Bottle the beer and cap it. Let it carbonate for another 1-2 weeks.
7. Enjoy
Chill the beer and enjoy your homemade Modelo Especial!
