What it does in your beer

A rich, malty IPA with subtle earthy and floral tones and a touch of spice, balanced between malt sweetness and refreshing bitterness. Bright gold in the glass, 35–45 IBU on the tongue.

M42 New World Strong Ale is a top-fermenting ale strain with a neutral aroma, so the malt and hops stay in front.

At a glance

What's in the pouch

• Wort concentrate
• A sachet of M42 New World Strong Ale yeast
• Brewing instructions

What else you need

• 1 kg dextrose or brew enhancer, or 1.2 kg pure liquid malt extract (not in the box)
• Fermenter, lid, airlock and grommet, mixing paddle
• Cleaning and sanitising product
• Hydrometer
• Bottles (PET or glass flip-top), syphon or bottling wand

• 3 L of boiling water; cold water to top up to 23 L

How to use

• Sanitise everything before you start.
• Pour the concentrate into the fermenter, then 3 L of boiling water and your fermentable (1 kg dextrose or 1.2 kg liquid malt extract). Stir until it's all dissolved.
• Make up to 23 L with cold water and wait until it's below 25 °C.
• Add the M42 yeast, then the airlock filled with cooled boiled water or sanitiser.
• Ferment at 20–23 °C for 7 days, or until bubbling stops.
• Hop sachet in your pouch? Add it once the gravity is at or below 1.020 (dextrose) or 1.025 (malt extract), without stirring.
• Bottle only after two readings 48 hours apart show the same gravity.
• Leave 5 cm headspace, prime and seal. At least 2 weeks warm, then 7 days in a cool, dark place to clear.

Pairs well with

Kit day: our Dextrose (Brewing Sugar) 1 kg is exactly the fermentable the pouch asks for.

Want more hop aroma? Try an extra dry hop of Cascade or Citra from our range.

Storage & shelf life

• Look for the best-before date on the pouch.
• Serve chilled once the beer is clear; Mangrove Jack's recommends another 2 weeks cool and dark for a smoother result.
