Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

Sweet. Looks like Ill bump it up a couple of degrees per day to 27C and hold it til its dry enough. Should be a good test for my new temp controller

Yeah would deffo be keen to try yours Liam, next time I cross the bridge...

Thanks Raffe

First post here in a while, brewed a (not-so) mild last night. After all, May is the month of mild and I hope to be drinking this about then.

Maris Otter, Crystal 60, Brown, Chocolate, Black.

Mix of Target and Northdown for bittering, then Brambling X and EKG for flavour/aroma.

Notthingham is my yeastie weapon of choice.

Hoping for good things from this.

Nice Barry - brewing a mild has been playing on my mind a bit lately too.  I've got a couple of sachets of Notts in the fridge so I'll be interested to know if you think its a good mild yeast.

Yeah I'll report back. Haven't used it in ages!

Cheers mate - look forward to hearing. 

I reckon that Brown is so distinctive, makes a mild (great in a northern brown too)

 

Yeah I agree JT - super nice character. I ran out so didn't put in as much as I wanted, hopefully it still makes it's way through into the finished beer.

Gonna brew this guy this weekend, yeast starter bubbling away. Loosely based of JZ's Dirty Water Brown. Amarillo substituted for US Cascade, and an extra dose of centennial at 0mins. Could be my first batch to come out of the new kegs!
