Amahl Turczyn adds a caramel-twist to a summertime favorite. Expect a bit of sweetness and color from the specialty malts, while the character of the beer stays true to the refreshing quality of Mexican lager.

2 lb (0.9 kg) Pilsner malt
1 lb (0.45 kg) flaked maize

ABV: 5.20%

Directions:
Mash malts at 148° F (65°C) and allow to rest one hour. Apply heat or boiling water to increase temperature to 168° F (76° C) over 20 minutes. Hold at 168° F (76°C) for another 10 minutes to mash out. Sparge at 168° F (76° C). Boil 90 minutes. Chill to 50° F (10° C) and oxygenate. Pitch a strong starter of yeast. Ferment at 50-55° F (10-13° C) until terminal gravity is reached. Raise to 60° F (16°C) and hold two days for a diacetyl rest. Crash to 35° F (2° C) and lager beer at 35-40° F (2-4° C) for at least a month.
