When you follow the instructions the beer is OK in my opinion, but nothing special. In my opinion the recipe that comes with their cerveza isn't as great as the recipe's that come with the other kits. Thats not to say that you can't easily improve the recipe by changing other small details I...

If you went "buy the book" on it the reality is it probably won't taste all that great. The recipe the kit gives you isn't the best.

Thinking so I figured the Marzen would be a good learning experience too.

I was looking online and found that filtering beer may improve shelf life but aside from the website I was looking at I hadn't really heard of anyone filtering beer before. Anyone have any opinions on this? Does it make the beer less cloudy? Does it improve the shelf life of the beer? What...

Yeah I have an extra fridge I don't use anymore that I can adjust the temps on.

Also I was wondering if a Mexican Cerveza can be somehow turned into a blueberry lager using liquid yeast (probably Marzen) and using some kind of blueberry flavoring.

I'm pretty new at making beer and I think the next beer I'm going to try to make is a blueberry lager. Anyone have and tips or words of warning. I was planning on ordering a kit and just going "by the book" on it but I've noticed that the kit recipes don't always turn out the best.
