The Day Before: Place all of the Light Crystal Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it using
a rolling pin.
Line a pot (at least 4 litres) with a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the pack), then add the
cracked Light Crystal Malt and 2 litres of cold water.
Fit the lid and sit in the fridge for 24hrs.
Brew Day: Remove from the fridge then gather up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the
liquid to drain from the Light Crystal Malt back into the pot.
Transfer the liquid to a good sized pot (around 8 litres) and bring to the boil with 250g of Light Dry
Malt.
Once boiling, add 25g of East Kent Goldings Hops and boil for 15mins.
Remove from the heat, add 25g of Bramling Cross Hops and let steep for 30mins.
Add the remaining 750g of Light Dry Malt to a drained sanitised fermenting vessel and add 2 litres of
hot water. Immediately pick the fermenting vessel up and swirl the contents until dissolved (approx
15 secs) - this method minimises clumping.
Strain the steeped wort into the fermenting vessel and mix in the Australian Pale Ale.
Fill to 18 litres with cold water, stir well and check the brew temperature.
Top up to the 21 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if necessary) to get as close to 20C
as possible.
Sprinkle the Nottingham Yeast and fit the lid.

Ferment at 18C - 20C.
After 3 days or fermenting, add the remaining Bramling Cross Hops to the brew (we suggest wrapping
in a mesh cleaning cloth pulled straight from the packet).
Fermentation has finished once the specific gravity is stable over 2 days. It should finish in the range
of 1008 – 1010.

Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (use only one carbonation drop for bottles
intended to be stored for a longer period).
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the PET bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve with age.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 4.8% ABV
