@MeMcNeills: It's funny how folks can look down on this method...gotta love a purist. Making beer out of these kits has been so much fun to me...AND I can do it between working and training for triathlons. Best of all, I can enjoy it and pay 70% less (sometimes even less) for great beer.
I can never find the coopers cerveza in my local store I'd like to give it a try though. Might see if they can order it in. Does it turn out similar to corona?
Aren't you supposed to leave the spoon in the fermenter while you're swirling to dissolve the dry fermentables/DME? On Coopers demonstration that's what he did. I was thinking it acted as an agitator. Maybe not.
I can't help but think that kit with Brew Enhancer 1 fermented with a pure lager yeast at proper temps would turn out a great, quick summer beer. Bet I could make a great crowd pleaser that way.
@yartp I guess so. Everything seemed to dissolve. So I'm not too worried. I used BE2. So far it tastes great. Pure lager yeast would probably be better.
What FG are you aiming for with cerveza?

Another good way to make it lighter and enhance the flavor is to use Rice Syrup Solids in place of Brew Enhancer or Dextrose.

@MeMcNeills I think it's wonderful that it's so easy to make a beer that is popular and can be shared with your friends.

@jcmc39555 I can make a real beer for about $20 for 5 gallons...Good luck with your triathlons, proud of you.

Sorry for the bad rating but the music was drowning out your voice to my old ears.

@RevolutionaryBrewer It has the same flavor profile. I think it turns out a better beer though.
