Like nectar of the gods, this tantalising IPA pays homage to Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and the brewers’ yeast that bears her name. It flows hazy gold into the glass and rests beneath a creamy white head. Then, the aromas carry you through sundrenched orchards. The scent of grapefruit and lime plays blissfully with those of mango, passionfruit, guava, and hints of blueberry. These are followed by a heavenly blend of tropical fruit and citrus flavours and a whisper of berries. Silky smooth with a gentle sweetness, Pomona cultivates a well-rounded IPA that balances a burst of flavours with a creamy texture and subtle undertones of warm spice.

Ingredients

1 x 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Preacher’s Hefe Wheat
1 x 1.5kg Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract
1 x 1kg Brew Enhancer 2
1 x 250g Golden Naked Oats
1 x 25g Citra Hops
1 x 25g Mosaic Hops
1 x 11g Lallemand Pomona Yeast
1 x 250g Coopers Carbonation Drops

Mix

Place the Golden Naked Oats in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack using a rolling pin.
In a good size pot (around 5 Litres) bring 2 litres of water to approximately 60-70°.
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 Golden Naked Oats 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.
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 Preacher’s Hefe Wheat, Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract and the Brew
Enhancer 2 to the FV, stir to dissolve then top up with cool water to the 18 litre mark and stir
thoroughly. Don’t be too concerned if there are lumps, they will dissolve over the next few hours.
Check the brew temperature and top up to the 23 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if
necessary) to get as close as possible to 18C.
Sprinkle the Lallemand Pomona Yeast, then fit the lid.

1. Mix

Place the Golden Naked Oats in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack using a rolling pin.
In a good size pot (around 5 Litres) bring 2 litres of water to approximately 60-70°.
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 Golden Naked Oats by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the
liquid to drain from the malt back into the pot.

Enhancer 2 to the FV, stir to dissolve then top up with cool water to the 18 litre mark and stir
thoroughly. Don’t be too concerned if there are lumps, they will dissolve over the next few hours.
Check the brew temperature and top up to the 23 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if
necessary) to get as close as possible to 18C.
Sprinkle the Lallemand Pomona Yeast, then fit the lid.

2. Brew

Ferment temperature should be as close to 18 - 23C, if possible.
Once the foam has subsided around day 5, add the Citra and Mosaic Hops (we recommend wrapping
them in a mesh cleaning cloth, pulled straight from the wrapper).
Take a specific gravity (SG) reading.
Check the SG again the following day and so on.
The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over 2 days, expect about 1012 to 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 6.4% ABV.
