Respect from New Zealand for the pronunciation of Motueka!

Josh's recipes are always awesome, and sounds like this was no exception!! I fully understand not wanting to wait around for a beer, but glad you did!

Hi! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I have to say this was a GREAT video! Also, it's WONDERFUL seeing a homebrewer who looks just like me! :)

I picked up motueka for a beer just like this! Great video Jus!

Yea'buddy! Great Video Jus'! I've about to re-brew my mexican lager with a few tweaks and this video was very helpful with that. Thx! Cheers...

Looks crispy! Great work

You nailed it Justin. To many homebrewers are very impatient. I try not to touch my keg for no less than 4 weeks. But admit, when I started, back in the revolutionary war days 😁, I too drank it as fast as I brewed it. I'll have to give this one a try. Take care !

Great info Jus! I'd say the longest I've waited was purely by accident in that I didn't get around to bottling/kegging for two or three months. Haven't committed to a proper long game. Cheers!

Another great video. I made a similar Mexican Lager last March using Motueka as well, but I did a 30min hopstand with about an ounce of Motueka and that really seemed to enhance the citrus/lime aroma. I also lagered @ 3 Celsius for 4 weeks and, like yours, mine was super clear. Definitely will do this one again!

Great Video, I'm getting ready to brew my first Mexican Lager (real lager). Thanks for what you do!!

Great video! This may be my next brew! 🍺

I made this recently with Lutra Kveik instead of lager yeast and a touch of weyermann acidulated into the grist. Tastes absolutely incredible and is unreasonably easy to make. Thumbs up for this recipe!

Nice video and recipe. I think I may have came across this article about a year ago and did a motueka cerveza last May. I targeted 20 IBU with 8 at 60 min, 8 at 5 min and another 4 with a 30min whirlpool at 160-170F. Also dry hopped with 2 oz. Lagered for a month and this beer was great. A bit more hops/fruit than traditional but it was unanimously preferred by friends and family over a local craft cerveza as well as corona. I did this recipe after my first to push the hops a bit more just like you were thinking!
