Yo, I’m posted by the kettle, got the hops in the pot... Brewing up a vibe, and a drop to hit da spot. Mr Beer in the game, yeast rising like dough... Fermentation on the mic, got the flow so slow. MC Dip Hop is in da house with a pale ale that turns brewing on its head. Adding the hops to the wort before fermentation starts (aka dip hopping) enhances the fruity and tropical flavours, minimises common piney and dank notes, and amplifies the aromas. The result: a pale ale that pours a clear, deep gold with a sturdy white head. Vibrant aromas of stone fruit, citrus, and subtle floral undertones are elevated by dip-hopping the Superdelic hops. Flavours are balanced, with juicy peach and citrus zest up front, and a light malt backbone. It finishes crisp with a firm bitterness and a refreshing edge to deliver a smooth, clean, aromatic beer. It’s da biz.

Ingredients

1 x 1.3kg Mr Beer North West Pale Ale
1 x 250g Carapils Malt
2 x 25g Superdelic Hops
1 x 15g Coopers American Ale Yeast
1 x 72g Mr Beer Carbonation Drops

Mix

Place the Carapils Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it using a rolling pin.
In a good size pot (around 4 Litres) bring 2 litres of water to approximately 60-70°C, add the crushed
Carapils Malt (we recommend wrapping in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper),
and let steep for about 30 minutes.
Remove the Carapils Malt 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.
Turn off heat and cool to approx. 70°C.
Add all the Superdelic Hops into the Fermenter and tip the hot wort into your Fermenting Vessel (FV)
on top of your hops. Fit the lid and let steep for 1 hour (This is the ‘Dip Hop’).
After 1 hour add the Mr Beer North West Pale Ale, stir to dissolve.
Fill the FV with cold water to the 5 litre mark.
Check the temperature and top up to the 10 litre mark with hot or cold water to get as close to 18°C
as possible.
Sprinkle the Coopers American Ale Yeast and fit the lid.
