Nothing says Christmas Down Under like rich, delicious pavlova. So why not create a beer to match? And that’s just what we did! Inspired by the iconic dessert, it pours a pale straw colour to settle in beneath a creamy head. True to its name, the scent of passionfruit swirls up with a hint of citrus sourness. The first drop fills the mouth with a smooth creaminess thanks to the lactose, perfectly balanced by the tartness of the Philly Sour yeast and more of that lip-smacking passionfruit. Refreshing, tangy, fruity and with a touch of sweetness it’s like grandma’s finest festive pavlova... but in a glass.

1. Mix

Add 2 litres of hot water to your Fermenting Vessel (FV).
Add the Coopers Mexican Cerveza, the Brew Enhancer 3 and all of the Lactose to the FV and stir to

2. Brew

Ferment temperature should be as close to 22C– 30°C if possible.
After 48 hours, add all the Passionfruit Pulp by straining the pulp through a sieve to remove the
seeds. For an extra creamy flavour and mouthfeel add vanilla essence at this point.
Fermentation has finished once the specific gravity is stable over 2 days.
Expected readings should finish in the range of 1013 – 1017.

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 4.4% ABV.
