Review: Barebottle Brewing Company Torcido Lager – Homebrew Recipe Kit

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Torcido Lager is a Mexican Lager. Sort of. I don’t know much about the style definition of a Mexican Lager, but MoreBeer’s site describes the recipe creation from Barebottle Brewing (San Francisco, CA) as non-traditional. Apparently, Barebottle likes mixing things up, so they describe this beer as a Mexican Pilsner with a German Helles twist. For Barebottle, this beer scored a Gold in the 2019 GABF, so crazy description aside, I figured the beer had some cred behind it.

White Labs HP Lager Yeast – $4.99

WLP925 HP Lager Yeast from White Labs

About from MoreBeer… “The new HP Lager strain from White Labs is ideal for fermenting under pressure. When beer is fermented under pressure, it allows for the production of a clean flavor profile, even when fermenting a lager at room temperature. Fermenting under pressure is advantagous in that it reduces ester and fusel alcohol production, reduces or negates the possibility of oxidation, carbonates the beer during fermentation and allows you to ferment warmer than you would otherwise. Check out The Fermentasaurus if you are in the market for an affordable fermentor that holds pressure.”
