Spring has sprung, ay! We all know it’s an unpredictable season, but we’ve got the perfect treat to start warming your bones. It’s a recipe that hails from the folk who know how to stay toasty in any weather – the wise brewers of the Canadian peaks. As breathtaking to look at as it is to taste, this brown ale pours deep, maple-leaf-amber, and settles under a pillowy cream-coloured head. Crisp as the mountain air, tales of citrus, hops and maple syrup emanate from the glass. Then it’s time to dive in and discover a brew that’s all about diplomatic sweetness from the caramel malts and polite hints of maple syrup – all backed up by a firm (but ever-so-courteous) bitterness to finish.

1. Mix

The Day Before: Line a pot (at least 4 litres) with a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the
pack).
Place the Light Crystal Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack them using a rolling pin.
Add the cracked Light Crystal Malt and 2 litres of cold water, fit the lid and sit in the fridge overnight.
Brew Day: Remove from the fridge then gather up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the
liquid to drain from the Light Crystal Malt back into the pot.
Place the strained liquid onto the stovetop, and gently boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and cool the liquid by placing the pot in a bath of cold water for about 15mins.
Add Mr Beer Bewitched Amber Ale, the Smooth Unhopped Malt Extract, the 100% Pure Canadian
Maple Syrup and the cooled liquid to the fermenting vessel (FV) then stir to dissolve.
Fill the FV with cold water to the 8.5 litre mark.
Sprinkle with the Safale S-04 Dry Yeast and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment at 18 - 20C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 10 days.
The following day 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.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (only one drop per bottle may be preferred
for this style).
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 bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve in with bottle 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 7.5% ABV.
