Prepare to encounter a pale ale inspired by the mighty Thor! It’s brewed using the unique Kveik yeast strain from Norway, which is fermented at fiery temperatures. But don’t be alarmed by its fearsome past. It actually has a softer side, pouring blonde in colour and offering an aroma that’s slightly floral with a touch of berries and passionfruit. The flavour is crisp and clean, bearing a hint of citrus and tropical fruit, making it the perfect summer beer from the land of the midnight sun.

1 x 25g Galaxy Hops
1 x 25g Mosaic Hops
1 x 11g Lalbrew Voss Kveik Ale Yeast
1 x 250g Coopers Carbonation Drops

Mix

Place the Carapils Malt 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
Carapils Malt (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 half a pack of Galaxy Hops and let steep for 20 minutes.
Set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool (approx. 15 minutes) then strain into a fermenting vessel
(FV).
Add the Coopers Australian Pale Ale and the Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract to the FV and stir to
dissolve. 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 warm water to get as close as
possible to 35C. (YES 35°C!)
Sprinkle the Lalbrew Voss Kveik Ale Yeast then fit the lid.

2. Brew

Ferment temperature should be as close to 35C– 40C if possible.
Once the foam has subsided around day 3, add the Mosaic Hops and remaining Galaxy 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 1009 – 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 5.4% ABV.
