Ok groove hounds, it’s time to dust off the platform shoes and squeeze into those shiny polyester pants, because we’re back on the dancefloor with a tutti fruity little beauty of an IPA. Like fruit juice in beer form, this brew is a real dazzler, pouring cloudy pale gold under a shimmering white head. It’s followed by a hip ol’ party of aromas and flavours as funky citrus, passionfruit, pineapple and tropical fruits chill out on the palate. Finally, a few sweet vibes are balanced by soft bitterness and lux, pillowy mouthfeel. Get down and funky with a rad brew that’ll bring some sunshine and lovin’ back to winter.

1 x 250g Golden Naked Oats
2 x 25g Citra Hops
1 x 11g Lallemand Verdant IPA Yeast

1. Mix

Place the Golden Naked Oats in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it using a rolling pin.
In a good size pot (around 5 Litres) bring 2 litres of water to approximately 60-70°C, add the crushed
Oats (we recommend wrapping in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper) and let
steep for about 30 minutes.
Remove the Oats by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain
back into the pot.
Bring the liquid to the boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add half a pack of Citra Hops and let steep for 20 minutes, set in an ice bath to
cool.
Strain the liquid, then add the Mr Beer Golden Ale and Unhopped Malt Extract - Golden to the
Fermenting Vessel (FV).
Fill the FV with cold water to the 9 litre mark.
Sprinkle the Lallemand Verdant IPA Yeast and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 17C-22C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 14 days.
Once fermentation slows down, approximately day 5, add the remaining pack and a half of Citra 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 6.3% ABV.
