Taco Chaser III
American Amber Ale • Extract • 5 gal
This recipe will get brewed the weekend of 7/01/2006 and will hopefully turn out good and ready to drink by the end of July. I plan on adding one good handful of fresh cilantro and two chopped and diced, dried New Mexico chile peppers to the secondary fermenter. I will use 5 oz. of corn sugar for priming before bottling. Maybe this will become the beer of my dreams for drinking with Mexican food.
