The temperatures are falling like drop bears, so it’s the perfect time to curl up (though probably not in a gum tree) with this unique hazy pale ale. It’s brewed with Golden Naked Oats, Idaho 7 Hops and then dry-hopped with Nectaron Hops just before the brew fully awakens. A misty but bright straw colour like a crisp morning, it settles gently into the glass. Laid-back aromas – from easy-going citrus to apricot and papaya – snuggle up to your nose. Then it stretches out with a velvety, relaxing mouthfeel that complements its fruity flavour profile. Not too bitter, not too smooth... its finish is just right, and the perfect ale after a long winter nap.

Ingredients

1 x 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Preachers Hefe Wheat
1 x 500g Coopers Light Dry Malt
1 x 250g Golden Naked Oats
1 x 25g Idaho 7 Hops
1 x 25g Nectaron Hops
1 x 11g Lalbrew Verdant IPA Yeast
1 x 250g Coopers Carbonation Drops

Mix

Place the Golden Naked Oats in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it 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 malt by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain
from the malt back into the pot.
Bring the liquid to the boil for 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the Idaho 7 Hops and let steep for 20 minutes with the lid on.
Set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool (approx. 15 minutes) then strain into a fermenting vessel
(FV).
Add the Thomas Coopers Preachers Hefe Wheat and the Coopers Light Dry Malt to the FV and stir to
dissolve. Don’t be too concerned if there are lumps, they will dissolve during fermentation.
Top up with cool water to the 17 litre mark and stir thoroughly.
Check the brew temperature and top up to the 21 litre mark with cold or warm water to get as close
as possible to 18C.
Sprinkle the Lalbrew Verdant IPA Yeast then fit the lid.

Check the brew temperature and top up to the 21 litre mark with cold or warm water to get as close
as possible to 18C.
Sprinkle the Lalbrew Verdant IPA Yeast then fit the lid.

2. Brew

Ferment temperature should be as close to 18C– 23C if possible.
Once the foam has subsided around day 5, add the Nectaron 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 1007– 1013.

3. Bottle

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 two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve in the short term.
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 4.1% ABV.
