Gravity Well – Eclipse & Galaxy Hazy Pale Ale

A modern hazy pale ale recipe designed for home brewing, showcasing the vibrant Australian hop pairing of Eclipse and Galaxy. Built on a foundation of low-colour Maris Otter, supported by wheat malt, flaked oats and Golden Naked Oats, this home brew delivers a soft, pillowy mouthfeel with lasting haze and exceptional drinkability.

A large whirlpool addition provides smooth bitterness and saturated hop flavour, while a two-stage dry hop layers bright mandarin, passionfruit and ripe peach throughout the beer. Fermented with WHC Haze Heaven yeast, the result is a juicy, full-flavoured hazy pale ale that drinks far bigger than its 4.5% ABV suggests, while remaining incredibly approachable and sessionable.
