East or West, this Hop Slam IPA will have even the cheap seats on their feet. An aggressive American styled IPA, it is fruity and floral with hints of citrus and tropical fruit. The solid malt backbone is overlaid with resinous citrus characters and a firm bitter finish. That might sound like a mouthful, but it’s a perfectly executed alley-oop between Bravo and Equinox, the point guard and power forward of the hops world. We might even see them playing for the Hopland Globetrotters one day. Might be time to reinforce the backboard.

Ingredients

1 x 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Brew A IPA
3 x 500g Coopers Light Dry Malt
1 x 25g Bravo Hops
1 x 25g Equinox Hops
1 x 11.5g Safale US-05 Dry Yeast
1 x 250g Coopers Carbonation Drops

Mix

Place all of the Coopers Light Dry Malt into a drained sanitised Fermenting Vessel (FV) and add 3
litres of cold water.
Immediately pick the FV up and swirl the contents until dissolved (approx 30 secs) - this method
minimises clumping but don’t be concerned if lumps remain.
Add the Thomas Coopers Brew A IPA and stir to dissolve.
Top up with cool water to the 20 litre mark and stir thoroughly.
Check the brew temperature and top up to the 23 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if
necessary) to get as close as possible to 20C.
Sprinkle both the Safale US-05 and brew can yeast and then fit the lid.

1 x 11.5g Safale US-05 Dry Yeast

1. Mix

Place all of the Coopers Light Dry Malt into a drained sanitised Fermenting Vessel (FV) and add 3
litres of cold water.
Immediately pick the FV up and swirl the contents until dissolved (approx 30 secs) - this method
minimises clumping but don’t be concerned if lumps remain.

Top up with cool water to the 20 litre mark and stir thoroughly.
Check the brew temperature and top up to the 23 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if
necessary) to get as close as possible to 20C.
Sprinkle both the Safale US-05 and brew can yeast and then fit the lid.

2. Brew

Ferment temperature should be as close to 20C as possible.
Once the foam has subsided usually around day 6 or 7 when fermenting with US-05, add the Bravo
and Equinox Hops (we recommend wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the
wrapper).
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 5.6% ABV.
