Ive read a bit about 'batch dry hopping' and often wondered why it was done... Seems to have some logic to it, but man, think of all the beer they must lose to hop matter?? And wtf @ an 8 month dry hop???

on that podcast was someone talking about dry hopping (it may have been Matt Bryndilson from Firestone) and i seem to remember him saying that they do several 'batches' of dry hopping for a few days each. Then I've read somewhere that Rogue dry hop…

If you've got the lab gear then I would go for slants and plates. If you haven't got the gear then freezing is probably better. 1.030 to 1.040 is usually agreed as the best media to grow wort. The Maltose Falcons and Homebrewtalk links in the lib…

My technique with fruit beers is to steep half of the fruit in the hot wort post boil for 20min before chilling. The rest of the fruit gets pasteurised, cooled, placed in a muslin bag and then added directly to the fermenter after primary. I then ta…

A Homebrewers Christmas

It starts out small, a wish for beer,
A kit and kilo, a drink is near!
In the mix the kit and sugar go,
The outcome a fate we all know.

The beer tastes soapy and a little shit,
The boys cry out says it's not a hit.
So what's next on this epic undertaking,
To get beer that is not painstaking.

We invest in the gear to start from scratch,
Mash tun and grain mill are part of the catch.
A little more bling we buy it all new,
The missus will blow on the first view.

The first batch is fraught with m… Continue

The Shit Home Brew Theory

It's not that I have anything better to do than sit around all day and think about homebrew. In fact, I don't think I have ever been so busy in my whole life. I work a minimum of 60 hours a week at the port, then I come home to a screaming 7 month old - and a whole pile of orders to fill... and somewhere between this I have to fit in my own brewing.

However... I did have a bit of a brainwave the other day.

Think about this... who makes the homebrew kits? You know... the black rock... the coope… Continue

Around the World in 14 days to the Kapiti Food Fair

I've just returned from a whirlwind around the world trip in 14 days: taking in 2 days in San Francisco, a stopover in Frankfurt, 6 days in Ireland, another stopover in Frankfurt, 3 days in Tokyo.

The question that springs to mind immediately, is how many regional beers you can fit in in a fortnight of perpetual jetlag. Seeing as it was my first vist to the US, I was obliged to sample a Budweiser at point of origin. While it quenched my thirst, my impression that it does not travel well (either… Continue
