Some useful notes * the original beer uses Gladfield Manuka Smoked Malt, which is unavailable in UK. We suggest Weyermann Rauch Malz as the best alternative. * if NZ hops are difficult to find, we'd suggest replacing them as follows: Pacific Jade can be replaced with Magnum. Nelson Sauvin with a tropical and/or sweaty new world hop such as Galaxy or Simcoe. Rakau could be replaced with any hop that displays stonefruit and pine notes (possibly Amarillo).
