The Day Before: Line a pot (at least 4 litres) with a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the
pack).
Place the Midnight Wheat Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack them using a rolling pin.
Add the cracked Midnight Wheat Malt and 2 litres of cold water, fit the lid and sit in the fridge
overnight.
Brew Day: Remove from the fridge then gather up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the
liquid to drain from the Midnight Wheat Malt back into the pot.
Place the strained liquid onto the stovetop and bring to the boil.
Add 25g of Galaxy Hops and boil for 10mins.
Remove from the heat, set the pot in a cold/ice water bath to cool (about 15 mins).
Strain the malt/hop liquid into the Fermenting Vessel (FV).
Add the Longplay IPA and Smooth Malt Extract to the FV (no need to stir).
Fill the FV with cold water to the 8.5 litre mark.
Sprinkle both the US-05 and brew can yeast then fit the lid.

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment at 18 - 20C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 12 days.
At around day 7, add the second 25g pack of Galaxy Hops to the brew by wrapping them in a mesh
cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the pack) and place directly on top of the brew then re-fit the lid.
After a couple of days, 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 a couple of days, expect about 1009 to 1013.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (only one drop per bottle may be preferred).
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 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 7.3% ABV.
