Crisp, clean and refreshing, K9 Quencher is top dog of this summer’s session ales. At first sniff, there’s peaches and tropical fruit before lapping up the tangy passionfruit flavour and slight spiciness on the tongue thanks to the wheat and Cara rye grains. A firm bitterness lends just enough bite, without overpowering the tropical character of the hops. One sip and you’ll be licking your chops for more.

1. Mix

Place the Carahell Malt and Cara Rye Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it using a

Stir into 2 litres of hot water (not boiling) and let steep for about 1 hour.
Strain into a good size pot (around 8 litres) then bring to the boil.

Sprinkle the US-05 dry yeast and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Ferment as close to 18°C as possible
Fermentation should take 7 to 14 days.
At around day 5 add the Cascade and Mosaic Hops (we recommend wrapping them in a mesh
cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper).
On day 8 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 1008 to 1012
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 18°C

4. Enjoy

After at least 2 weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
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 4.5% ABV.
