The Day Before: Place the Light Crystal Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack it using a
rolling pin.
Line a pot (at least 2 litres) with a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the wrapper), then add
the cracked Light Crystal Malt and 1 litre of cold water.
Fit the lid and sit in the fridge for 24hrs.
Brew Day: Clean and sanitise all equipment that will come in contact with the brew.
Remove Light Crystal Malt 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 pot on the stove and bring to the boil.
Add half of the Amarillo Hops and boil for 5 minutes
Remove from heat and set in an ice bath to cool.
Add the cooled Hop and Malt Liquid (wort), and the Mr Beer North West Pale Ale to the Fermenting
Vessel (FV).
Fill the FV with cold water to the 9 litre mark.
Sprinkle the US-05 Yeast and fit the lid.

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 17C-22C.
Fermentation should take 7– 10 days.
Once fermentation slows down, approximately day 5, add the remaining Amarillo Hops and Galaxy
Hops (we recommend wrapping them in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper).
Leave for 3 days and then check Specific Gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over a couple of days, expect about 1010 to 1015.
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 18C.

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve with 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 4.9% ABV.
