Electric Squid Hazy IPA
Get your tentacles around this one, groove lovers! It’s a zappy little IPA that’ll put a spark in your summer. Beneath a foamy white head, it settles pale straw and hazy. Passionfruit, pineapple and mango aromas curl their way out of the glass, followed by a current of citrus and tropical flavours to electrify the tastebuds. With a rounded mouthfeel from the addition of wheat, there’s nothing shocking about this smooth, funky ale.

Ingredients

1 x 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Preacher’s Hefe Wheat
1 x 1.5kg Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract
1 x 250g Golden Naked Oats
1 x 25g Mosaic Hops
2 x 25g Citra Hops
1 x 15g Coopers English Ale Yeast
1 x 250g Coopers Carbonation Drops

Mix

Place the Golden Naked Oats in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack them 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
Golden Naked Oats (we recommend wrapping in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the
wrapper), and let steep for about 30 minutes.
Remove the Golden Naked Oats by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the
liquid to drain from the malt back into the pot.
Bring liquid to boil for 5 minutes.
Add the Mosaic Hops and remove from the heat.
Leave the hops to steep in the liquid (wort) for 30 minutes with the lid on.
Cool the liquid by placing the pot in a bath of cold water for about 15 minutes.
Add the Thomas Coopers Preacher’s Hefe Wheat, the Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract to the cooled
hop and malt liquid in the fermenting vessel (FV) then stir to dissolve.
Top up with cold tap water to 15 litres and stir thoroughly.
Check the temperature and top up to 21 litres with warm or cool water (refrigerated if necessary) to
start the brew at 18°C.
Sprinkle the Coopers English Ale Yeast and fit the lid.

Sprinkle the Coopers English Ale Yeast and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and ferment at 18C to 22C.
Fermentation should take around 9 to 12 days.
On day 5, add all of the Citra 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.

3. Bottle

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over 2 days, expect about 1009 to 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 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the PET bottles.
A hop driven beer such as this is often at its best when young.
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 5.4% ABV.
