Mangrove Jack’s International Series Mexican Cerveza brewing instructions.
Additional Fermentables Required
Dextrose:Â For a cost-effective basics brew use 1KG of Dextrose.
Premium Dextrose:Â To improve body and head retention whilst staying true to a light body and crisp style called for by the Mexican Cerveza use Premium Blend Light
Liquid Malt Extract:Â For optimal head retention, a smooth body and clean malt flavour we would suggest brewing this kit with liquid malt extract. We recomend only using Ultra Light malts which are available in 1.5KG Brick Road Extra Light or 1.7KG Black Rock Ultra Light.
