ATF No Daze Haze is full of juicy hazy goodness and is only 3.1% (if brewed to spec). Wonderfully smooth with plenty of citrus and tropical fruit flavour and aroma it is almost like drinking the best fruit juice you've ever had.

Note on Dry Hopping

We recommend reducing the temperature of the beer to 16℃ before dry hopping to reduce the risk of the dry hop causing additional fermentation (dry hop creep) and increasing the ABV of the beer above the target 3.1%.

When cooling the beer we recommend capping the fermenter and using co2 to apply positive pressure (inside the fermenter) to avoid air being sucked in as the beer cools and shrinks as this may oxidise the beer.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Vape (Assumed Origin: Boddington’s) to produce a juicy hazy with a silky mouthfeel and great hop aroma and flavour.

Alternatively we recommend using Verdant IPA. Lallemand’s Verdant IPA yeast. LalBrew Verdant IPA yeast will produce fruity esters and is well suited to NEIPA’s.

We recommend fermenting the ATF Tropical Krush with Mango Madness at 35℃ for 3 - 5 days before cooling the beer to 16℃ before adding the second dry hop. When cooling the beer care should be taken to avoid oxidising the beer. Please refer to the ATF Dry Hopping Techniques and How to minimise Oxidation article for some options.
