Corona Clone

[SlowFoxBird]

I know I am going to recieve hate mail for this, but I need a recipie for a Corona clone. That's all that a friend of mine drinks, and I am trying to introduce him to the world of beer. What better way than with an improved version of what he is already used to?

Well I have this recipe I worked up I am planning to brew sometime soon. Don't know how close to corona it will taste. But I did order the mexican lager yeast white labs has to try to see if I can pull it off.

Did you ever brew this one Henning? I am really interested to hear how it turns out. I have the same issue with people that want only Corona.

No I have not brewed it yet your post pushed it back to the top of the list. The main reason I want to do this clone is I have a friend that brought back a couple cases of fresh corona from mexico. Outstanding beer when it is fresh and not light struck. I will be putting this on the long brewing schedule this next week since I will be on vacation a week from tomorrow. I see corona clone, another batch of bugeaters rye cream ale, denny's rye Ipa, and maybe a malty pale ale with mt hood hops in the future.

I brewed a corona clone once. IIRC, it used about 4 pounds of pils malt and 4 pounds of flaked corn in the mash. Dont recall the hops but I used white labs 380.

It was a pretty good brew. I liked it. The wife liked it. The pils malt kept it a real light color like the original stuff too.
