Just wondering what hops would be used for a corona clone I was looking at Kens recipe for Cabana lager and he states its not meant to be a clone... But easy drinking. Any suggestions ?

They have hops in Corona? news to me. I would have no idea.But seriously, if i was too make a corona i might use Cluster hops.

Use whatever you have. Well, maybe not Chinook or Columbus, but the hops are in the background. Any noble or American clones would be good- Tettnang, Hallertauer, Mt. Hood, Liberty, etc. Magnums would also be good since they are neutral, but you'll need an accurate scale.

I have Amirillo and EKG at the moment may order some SAAZ though

Maybe a reloading scale. I agree...I think about any hops will do other than some of the really pungent ones like Chinook, Summit, etc.

No scale needed just throw in 2 pellets.

Well, I think you'd have to be careful (as you guys said) not to use something like Simcoe, Amarillo, Cascade or anything that lends its own flavor to the beer (like Amarillo=grapefuit, etc). I would guess that since the Germans & Austrians set up a lot of the Mexican brewing infrastructure that it's something along the lines of a Hallertau, Tettnanger, possibly Styrian Goldings, etc. Anything that's relatively clean would work. Corona tastes like it has only 1 hop addition, wouldn't you guys agree? Apparently, it's "Single Hop Brewed". Cheers!
