With the winter snow now starting to melt, it’s time to pack away the skis and fire up pedals for an adrenalin-rush of a downhill ride. Taking its cues from the alpine air, this light-hued, white IPA will surely get your wheels spinning. There’s citrus, thanks to the Amarillo hops, spice from their Pacific Jade mates and a touch of cloves from those Belgian yeasts. And behind your first drop, get ready to land with strong bitterness, matched by more warm, spicy citrus flavours in a spectacular pale ale born of the wheat-field plains and mountain air.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and ferment at 18C to 20C.
Fermentation should take around 10 to 14 days.
On day 10 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 1010 to 1015.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonations drop 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 PET bottles.
Due to the hops try to enjoy as fresh as possible.
Pour into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 6.3% ABV
