Oskar Blues Beerito Clone from Dec 2017 BYO magazine. I had Beerito this past summer in a sampler pack and liked it, so was glad to see BYO had a clone. This is my take on the BYO recipe. Hopefully, will try to lager later this winter. Sterling is substitute for French Aramis, adding extra at hop scheduled times along with the Hallertau to achieve the 21 IBU as the original. Substitute Irish moss for 1/2 Whilfloc tablet (5 min). Not sure why BYO uses Munich Lager instead of Mexican Lager yeast, but then again, it's listed as a Vienna Lager.
