Heat 2 litres of water in your pot to 70°C.
While water is heating - place the Light Crystal Malt and Roasted Barley in a plastic zip-lock sandwich
bag and crack the Light Crystal Malt and Roasted Barley using a rolling pin.
Once water has reached 70°C add the Light Crystal Malt and Roasted Barley to your muslin bag and
soak in the water like a tea bag.
Try and keep the water between 65–70°C for 30 minutes by turning your stove on and off as needed.
Carefully lift the muslin bag from the water and let it drain into the pot (you can use a colander to sit
it in and let the water drain).
Add half of one of your Light Dry Malt bags and stir to dissolve.
Return your pot to the stove and bring the liquid to a boil, once boiling add all of your Cascade Hops
and boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool for 15 minutes then strain into a
Fermenting Vessel (FV).
Add the Coopers Australian Pale Ale and the remaining Light Dry Malt then stir to dissolve (don’t be
concerned if some lumps persist as they will dissolve over the course of several hours).
Top up with cool water to the 19 litre mark and stir vigorously.
Check the temperature and top up to the 22 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if
necessary) to get as close as possible to 18°C.
Sprinkle the Coopers American Ale Yeast over the brew then fit the lid.

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 17°C to 22°C.
Fermentation should take about 7 days.
On day 5, add all of the Galaxy Hops (we recommend adding them to a boiled muslin bag with
enough room for them to expand).
On day 7 check the specific gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over 2 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 18°C.

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the PET bottles.
A hop driven beer such as this is often at its best when young.
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 5.2% ABV.
