What Hops to use in a mexican cervesa

Post by 100.bottles »

Hi everyone new to the forum.
Been brewing with my family for close to ten years

I have made a few batches of corona cervesa , and Im trying to find out what Hops to use in the kit brew.
Would anyone have any ideas what Hops Corona cervesa use in their watery mexican delight

I believe it is Galena. But they use a special extract which can not really be cloned by standard hop additions. You can get close...
Prost and happy brewing!

http://www.craftbrewer.com.au

and I found galena hops there and the comment seems good...

(Great neutral bittering hop, whereas later additions can give a
blackcurrant aroma & strong fruity character. The hop of Corona.
If you could choose just1 bittering hop, this would be the hop of choice.)

But how much hop pellet for a 23 lt brew 10 g ?

thanks again for the tips

Well, the amount of hops you use are going to be governed by the recipe you use, and personal taste. Have a search around these forums. Plenty of threads on Corona!
