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. Verdant IPA yeast expresses high amounts of β-lyase enzyme promoting biotransformation accentuating hop flavour and aroma. and also produces high amounts of glycerol producing a beer with a silky mouthfeel.

You could also try Froth Spectra (Assumed Origin: Unknown (London)).Spectra can produce a spectrum of radiant flavour & aroma while exhibiting an elegant ester profile and velvety mouthfeel.

Alternatively you could use Lallemand's New England yeast. Lallemand New England produces beers with a unique fruit forward ester profile, which is sought after in NEIPA's. Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew® New England can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavour and aroma.

Panhead Supercharger is an award winning beer that is extremely popular. Panhead describes the beer as follows:

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Supercharger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.

This is our interpretation of Emerson’s Bookbinder. In Emerson’s own words Bookbinder is:

A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale. Bookbinder is a blend of four malts combined with two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Riwaka). The beer pours an attractive reddish brown, with a cream coloured head. Bookbinder has a sweet, perfumey, malt and hop aroma with a soft, malty, fruit and vinous palate that is both full flavoured and refreshing with a long, gently drying finish.

Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Froth Vape (Assumed Origin: Boddington’s),the yeast currently by Emerson's to produce Bookbinder. Alternatively we recommend using Lallemand Verdant IPA, or you could also try Fermentis S-04 or Mangrove Jack's Liberty Bell.
