You’re sure to fall for this warming autumn ale. It settles in the glass a deep copper hue: the colour of turning leaves. Aromas carrying the last of the summer harvest – peaches, limes and tropical fruit – drift up like a wind flurry, followed by flavours of malt, caramel, citrus and stone fruit. The Golden Naked Oats add a touch of sweetness, while the HS-Sativa hops bring a hint of early winter spice, and the finish is bitter and crisp, like a cool autumn morning. It’s a smooth, warming ale, designed to be savoured in front of a crackling open fire, before you head outside to rake up all those damned leaves.

Remove the Golden Naked Oats by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain from the malt back into the pot.
Add pot to the stove and bring to the boil for 5 minutes.
Set pot in an ice bath to cool for 15 minutes.
Strain the wort into your Fermenting Vessel (FV) and add the Mr Beer Bewitched Amber Ale, stir to dissolve.

1. Mix

Place the Golden Naked Oats in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack them using a rolling pin.
In a good size pot (around 5 Litres) bring 1 litre of water to approximately 60-70°C, add the crushed Golden Naked Oats (we recommend wrapping in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper) and let steep for about 30 minutes.
Remove the Golden Naked Oats by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain from the malt back into the pot.
Add pot to the stove and bring to the boil for 5 minutes.
Set pot in an ice bath to cool for 15 minutes.
Strain the wort into your Fermenting Vessel (FV) and add the Mr Beer Bewitched Amber Ale, stir to dissolve.
Fill the FV with cold water to the 5 litre mark.
Check the temperature and top up to the 8.5 litre mark with hot or cold water to get as close to 18°C as possible.
Sprinkle the Coopers English Ale Yeast and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 17C-23C.
Fermentation should take 5 to 10 days.
Once fermentation slows down, approximately day 5, add the 25g of HS-Sitiva Hops (we recommend wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper).
Leave for 3 days and then check Specific Gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.

3. Bottle

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over a couple of days, expect about 1010 to 1015.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps.
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the 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 5.7% ABV
