Premium All Grain Recipe Kit

Brew a soft, juicy and highly drinkable Hazy Pale Ale bursting with tropical fruit and citrus hop character.

Easy Peasy combines premium Ale Malt with equal additions of flaked oats, malted oats and flaked wheat. This streamlined grain bill produces the smooth body, stable haze and creamy mouthfeel expected from a modern Hazy Pale Ale without making the finished beer heavy or overly sweet.

Citra delivers vibrant citrus, grapefruit and tropical-fruit character, while New Zealand-grown Nectaron contributes ripe peach, passionfruit and pineapple-like flavours.

All 200g of hops are reserved for the 85°C hop stand and dry hop. This creates intense hop flavour and aroma while keeping the bitterness exceptionally smooth.

White Labs London Fog Ale Yeast complements the high-protein grain bill and expressive hops, producing a soft fermentation profile with the haze, body and juicy fruit character suited to this style.

At approximately 4.3% ABV and 18 IBU, Easy Peasy delivers the flavour and aroma of a heavily hopped hazy beer in a lighter, refreshing and easy-drinking package.

Each kit makes approximately 23 litres of beer and is packed to order by Border Brewing Supplies. Choose milled grain, freshly crushed for your brewing system, or unmilled grain for crushing at home.

Hop Schedule

Hop Stand

After the boil, cool the wort to 85°C and hold the following additions for 20 minutes:

• 50g Nectaron

• 40g Citra

Dry Hop

Add the following hops for a four-day dry-hop contact period:

• 60g Citra

• 50g Nectaron

The recipe has no traditional 60-minute bittering addition. Its calculated bitterness comes from the 85°C hop stand, producing smooth bitterness with maximum hop flavour.

Follow the complete Brewfather recipe for the correct dry-hop timing and fermentation schedule.

Recipe Specifications

Mash Profile

The 67°C mash produces enough fermentability for a refreshing finish while retaining the body needed to support the large hop bill.

Fermentation Profile

• Pitch London Fog Ale Yeast at approximately 18°C

• Allow the temperature to rise to 19°C

• Hold at approximately 19°C for four days

• Increase to 20°C for one day

• Finish fermentation at approximately 21°C

• Apply the dry hop for a four-day contact period

• Confirm fermentation is complete with stable gravity readings

• Cold crash carefully to retain hop aroma

• Carbonate to approximately 2.4 volumes of CO₂

Avoid introducing oxygen when adding the dry hops or packaging the finished beer. Hazy, heavily hopped beers are particularly sensitive to oxidation.

Recommended Water Profile

This soft, chloride-forward water profile supports a rounder mouthfeel and smoother bitterness while allowing the Citra and Nectaron flavours to remain expressive.

Sulphate-to-chloride ratio: Approximately 0.5

Target mash pH: Approximately 5.33

Frequently Asked Questions

What style of beer is Easy Peasy?

Easy Peasy is a modern Hazy Pale Ale designed to deliver the tropical flavour, soft body and intense aroma associated with hazy IPAs at a more approachable 4.3% ABV.

What does Easy Peasy taste like?

Expect citrus, grapefruit, peach, passionfruit, pineapple and other tropical-fruit flavours.

The malt profile is clean and restrained, allowing Citra and Nectaron to remain the focus.

What hops are used?

The revised recipe uses Citra and Nectaron.

Citra provides bright citrus, grapefruit and tropical-fruit character. Nectaron contributes ripe peach, passionfruit and pineapple-like flavours.

Do I use all 200g of hops?

Yes. The complete supplied 100g packet of Citra and 100g packet of Nectaron are used:

• 90g in the 85°C hop stand

• 110g in the dry hop

Follow the Brewfather recipe for the correct quantities, temperatures and timing.

Why are there no hops in the main boil?

The recipe obtains its bitterness from the 85°C hop stand.

Reserving the hops for the hop stand and dry hop produces smooth bitterness and increases hop flavour and aroma without making the finished beer harsh.

Why does the recipe use flaked oats and malted oats?

Flaked oats contribute softness, body and haze, while malted oats add creamy malt character and additional brewing enzymes.

Using both provides a fuller texture without relying on an unnecessarily complicated grain bill.

Why is flaked wheat included?

Flaked wheat provides protein that supports stable haze, body and head retention.

It works with the oats to create the soft appearance and mouthfeel expected from a modern Hazy Pale Ale.

Why are rice hulls included?

Oats and flaked wheat can make the grain bed dense and reduce wort flow.

Rice hulls improve grain-bed structure and wort circulation, helping reduce the risk of a slow or stuck sparge. They add no meaningful colour, flavour or fermentable sugar.

What yeast is included?

The revised recipe includes one packet of White Labs London Fog Ale Yeast WLPD066.

London Fog is selected for its ability to produce a soft, hazy and fruit-forward beer that complements modern hop varieties.

Can I choose whether my grain is milled or unmilled?

Yes. Choose freshly milled grain, crushed and packed to order by Border Brewing Supplies, or unmilled grain if you prefer to crush it yourself.

What brewing systems can I use?

This recipe is suitable for most all grain brewing systems, including:

• Grainfather

• BrewZilla

• Guten

• RoboBrew

• Brew in a Bag systems

• Traditional three-vessel systems

The recipe is calculated at 70% brewhouse efficiency and can be adjusted in Brewfather to suit your equipment.

How can I prevent oxidation?

Avoid splashing the beer after fermentation begins and minimise exposure to air when dry hopping, transferring and packaging.

If possible, purge the receiving keg with carbon dioxide and use a closed-transfer system. Oxidation can quickly reduce fresh hop aroma and darken a hazy beer.

Is this recipe suitable for beginners?

Easy Peasy is suitable for brewers who have completed at least one all grain batch.

The single-temperature mash is straightforward, but careful temperature control and low-oxygen dry-hop and packaging practices will produce the best result.

Are Servomyces and brewing salts included?

No. Servomyces yeast nutrient and the recommended brewing-water additions are shown in the Brewfather recipe but are available separately.

How much beer does the recipe make?

The recipe is designed to produce approximately 23 litres of finished beer at 70% brewhouse efficiency.
