Surf’s up and it’s time to hang loose with a gnarly, hop-driven pale ale that’s just in time for summer. Peach, passionfruit and pineapple aromas ride in on a wave of tropical and pine flavours, held steady by a malty backbone that provides just enough sweetness to balance out the crisp hop bitterness, before it all closes out with a smooth, refreshing finish.

Ingredients

1 x 1.3kg Mr Beer Bewitched Amber Ale
1 x 250g Mr Beer Unhopped Malt Extract - Smooth
1 x 25g Cascade Hops
1 x 25g Galaxy Hops
1 x 11.5g Safale US-05 Yeast
1 x 72g Mr Beer Carbonation Drops

1. Mix

Clean and sanitise all equipment that will come into contact with the brew.
In a 2 litre pan, mix the Mr Beer Unhopped Malt Extract - Smooth with 1 litre of water and bring to
the boil.
Add about half of the Cascade Hops and boil for 10mins.
Remove from the heat, set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool (about 15 mins).
Strain the malt/hop liquid into the Fermenting Vessel (FV).
Add the Bewitched Amber Ale to the FV (no need to stir).
Fill the FV with cold water to the 9 litre mark.
Sprinkle both the US-05 and brew can yeast then fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment at 18 - 22C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 12 days.
At around day 7, add the remaining Cascade and all the Galaxy Hops to the brew by wrapping them in
a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the pack) and place directly on top of the brew then re-fit
the lid.
After two more days, check the 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 1008 to 1012.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (only one drop per bottle may be preferred).
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 in the short term.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer (slightly warmer than fridge temperature to emphasise the hop aromas) may be
poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 5.6% ABV.
