The Day Before: Line a pot (at least 4 litres) with a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the
pack).
Place the Carared Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack them using a rolling pin.
Add the cracked Carared Malt and 3 litres of cold water, fit the lid and sit in the fridge overnight.
Brew Day: Gather up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain from the
Carared Malt back into the pot.
Place the strained liquid onto the stove top, add the Unhopped Malt Extract - Smooth and bring to the
boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add half of the Simcoe Hops and let sit.
After 15 minutes cool the pot in a sink of iced water.
Strain the cooled malt/hop mix into the Fermenting Vessel (FV).
Add the Long Play IPA to the FV.
Fill the FV with cold water to the 8.5 litre mark.
Sprinkle the Safale US-05 dry yeast and fit the lid.

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 18C-22C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 14 days.
Optional: At around day 4, zest the grapefruit (being careful not to get any white pith) into 1 cup of
boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let the grapefruit zest infuse and while the water cools.
After 30 minutes strain the zesty water into the FV.
Add the Citra Hops, Amarillo Hops and the remaining Simcoe 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.

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over a couple of days, expect about 1010 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.

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 6.5% ABV.
