It's worth noting that the awesome crew at Farra are sponsoring this year's NHC with a sexy 30L Conical fermenter, such as the one on display at Beervana too. They are a great bunch of people, and well worth supporting if you have the $$$ to spend o…

Hi Nick, I added the extra S23 on Wed night and it is still bubbling along nicely. I will do a good diacetyl rest when it is ready. Thanks for the help. Cheers

I've been down in the South Island the last week, and man it is a beer drinkers paradise! I went to a party on Saturday night and had a rigger of the Harringtons (Emersons-clone) pilsener, and a stout. Pretty good local swill for Christchurch... D…

If 10 weekend warriors put in $300 each you could get a weekend day on it every 5th weekend. About the time it takes to ferment and cold condition a beer and have a week off.

Q. If I'd added about 5L water to dilute the wort this would have hit my target OG. So if I added it now to bring it down to the expected FG of about 1014 is that the same thing? Its what the Big boys do, you have to be carfull with ph and all that…

Christchurch grain mill 12 Replies

Hi, I bought some grain for a pilsner but did not realise that it was not crushed until it arrived. Is there anyone in Christchurch who would be willing to let me use their grain mill for this one?

Beervarna: Electric Kool Aid for the masses.













Ahh, Beervarna.



I love it. I tend to have this recurring feeling the day after that I have just participated in some form of group hallucination fueled by a pharmacopeia of malt, hops and banter. And I’m just a wallflower; the dosage could well be much

1st Brew on the Liberty Pilot Brewery.


After a great many hours in the workshop, countless welding flashes, a few trails... a few errors. After many a phone call from the Wife asking when I'll be home, and after more than my fair share of burns (from resting my arm on freshly welded steel) - Oh and I can't forget about all the singed eye brows, eye lashes, arm hair and head hair...



I have completed a trial batch on my best performing and ideal home brew system.



So the
