Coopers Carbonation Drops are not included in The Voyage Advanced Recipe Pack series, as they may or may not be needed depending on your preferred dispensing and priming method. We recommend using Carbonation Drops if you are bottling this beer.

1. MIX

Heat 2 litres of water in your pot to 70°C.
While water is heating - Place the grains in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack the grains using a rolling pin.
Once water has reached 70°C add the grains to your muslin bag and soak in the water.
Try and keep the water between 65–70°C for 30 minutes.
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 the bags of Light Dry Malt and stir to dissolve.
Return your pot to the stove and bring the liquid to a boil, once boiling add 1 of your packets of Galaxy hops and boil for 15 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 Thomas Coopers Preacher's Hefe Wheat 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 18 litre mark and stir vigorously.
Check the temperature and top up to the 21 litre mark with warm or cold water (refrigerated if necessary) to get as close as possible to 18°C.
Sprinkle the Safale US-05 sachet over the brew then fit the lid.

2. BREW

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 18°C to 20°C.
Fermentation should take about 10 days.
On day 7, add the remaining Galaxy hops (we recommend adding them to a sanitised muslin bag with enough room for them to expand).
On day 9 check the specific gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.

3. BOTTLE

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over 2 days, expect about 1010 to 1013.
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 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 4.8% ABV.
