Place the Malted Oats, Crystal Malt, and Carapils Malted Grains in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and
crack it using a rolling pin.
In a good size pot (around 5 Litres) bring 3 litres of water to approximately 65-70°C, add the crushed
grain (we recommend wrapping in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper) and let
steep for about 30 minutes.
Remove the grain by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain
from the grain back into the pot.
Bring the liquid to the boil for 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and dissolve the Honey.
Then add half of each of the Riwaka, Amarillo, Simcoe and El Dorado Hops and steep for 30 minutes
with the lid on the pot.
Set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool (approx. 15 minutes) then strain into a fermenting vessel
(FV).
Add the Coopers Australian Pale Ale extract and Coopers Light Dry Malt to the FV, stir to dissolve then
top up with cool water to the 17 litre mark and stir thoroughly.
Check the brew temperature and top up to the 21 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if
necessary) to get as close as possible to 19C.
Sprinkle the US-05 Dry Yeast then fit the lid.

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and ferment at 18C to 22C.
Fermentation should take around 7 to 10 days.
On day 5, add the remaining Hops (we recommend wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled
straight from the wrapper).
On day 7 check the specific gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.
Fermentation has finished once the specific gravity is stable over 2 days.
Expected readings should finish in the range of 1009 – 1014.

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 18°C.

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 may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 5.5% ABV.
