With a smooth refreshing taste, this Home Brew Corona Style recipe pack is perfect for summer, just add a slice of lime. Our recipe uses Morgan’s Premium Cortes Cerveza as the base extract can. We then build in additional flavour using Motueka dry hops. Motueka is a New Zealand hop that exhibits lemon and lime characteristics, a great flavour boost for a cerveza.

HOW TO BREW – Home Brew Corona Style
MIX: Home Brew Corona Style Recipe – Pour 2 litres of water into sanitised fermenter. Add the contents of the Morgan’s Premium Cortes Cerveza and Morgan’s Extra Pale Master Malt. Stir contents to dissolve and add cold water to bring the contents up to 23 litres. Use a hydrometer to record the Original Gravity. Pitch Morgan’s American Ale Yeast when the brew is between 18-24˚C (NOTE: the yeast under the can lid is not required).
FERMENTING: Seal the fermenter with lid and airlock. Ferment at a constant temperature until the specific gravity reaches 1.010 (FG) or below. Ideal fermentation temperature is between 18˚C and 24˚C.
2 days out from bottling/kegging open the fermenter lid and add the infusion bag from the Motueka Finishing Hops to the fermenter. Leave these in the fermenter no more than 2 days.
BOTTLING: Gently fill clean and sanitised PET bottles to about 3cm from the top. Add carbonation drops at the rate of 1 per 330ml/375ml bottle and 2 per 740ml/750ml bottle. Sugar or dextrose may be used at the rate of 8g per litre (approximately 6g of sugar to a level metric teaspoon). Then secure the caps.
MATURING: Allow Bottles to stand at a temperature between 22˚C and 30˚C for 5 days to allow the beer to carbonate. Allow another 10 days at room temperature to fully mature. The finished beer will continue to improve with further ageing.
