Slightly modified from https://beerandbrewing.com/recipe-numero-dos-mexican-style-lager/ You may find that you need more kettle finings than usual here, or a hit of gelatin (or Biofine) before packaging. But bear in mind that it will also clear in the keg or bottle while lagering, and that brilliantly clear beer will look as good as it tastes.

Mash Steps

Special Instructions

1.
Preheat 7 Gal of water to 157F (per AF manual - 9# grains @ 120V)
2.
Add grains and stir to avoid clumping (duh)
3.
Reduce temp to 152F
4.
Mash (wait) for an hour at 152F (for saccharification rest - is this time optimal?)
5.
Increase temp to 170F
6.
Vorlauf (recirc) until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle
7.
(SKIP) Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate
8.
Remove grain bin (allow to drip into wort)
9.
Bring wort to a boil - we will boil for 60 minutes total on this timeline...
10.
0:00 - Add Motueka hops addition #1
11.
0:45 - Put chiller in to give it time to sanitize
12.
0:55 - Add Motueka hops addition #2
13.
1:00 - Cool wort to 70F (15-20 minutes?)
14.
Transfer to fermenter
15.
Pitch yeast, cover (with airlock), and store at room temperature (66-70F)
16.
Wait for airlock to stop bubbling (2 weeks - new yeast, I am guessing, but give it time to settle)
17.
No diacetyl rest is needed - unless you do a REAL lager (this is not)
18.
Bottle w/ priming sugar
19.
Store at room temperature for a week or two (test it!)
20.
Chill and enjoy...hopefully
