WARNING! Not for the faint hearted! As the name suggests, this beer is packed full of flavour and bitterness with this fabulous recipe being a Forum favourite! The Thomas Coopers Brew A IPA starts you off with a nice floral/spicy base – and then we add another layer of dry hopping. Our Hop Slam IPA recipe uses Motueka (formerly B Saaz) as the hero hop, which throws in a beautiful blend of citrus, stone fruit and mint aromas into the final brew. The combination results in a deliciously hoppy beer packed with a combination of flavours and aromas.

2. Brew

Add the Motueka Hops (we recommend wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from
the wrapper).
Ferment temperature should be as close to 21C as possible.
Fermentation has finished once the specific gravity is stable over 2 days.
Expected readings should finish in the range of 1008 - 1012.

3. Bottle

Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (use only one carbonation drop for bottles
intended to be stored for a longer period).
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.
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 5.0% ABV.
