"I'm guessing you only move it when it is empty... otherwise your arms must be bigger than those Croucher guns!"

"It was just a fridge, fitted with a temp controller for heating and cooling. Works really well!"

- About Me:
- Funny as it may seem, I have always had an interest in beer, but it took me a few years to appreciate the finer beers that are available today. Since moving to NZ from the UK, I have missed my favourite tipples, so I decided I was going to try and recreate them over here. That was my inspiration, lets see where it takes me....tbc

- OK, commissioned the kit on Sunday, reasonably successful. Just a few issues with my pump (which is a washing machine pump which collapsed a bearing). Anyway the brew was:
8.5kg Gladfield Ale
1kg Wheat
1kg Carared
80g Green bullet at start of the boil
30g Goldings for 40mins
10g Goldings for 20mins
I intend to dry hop with a few Goldings
Yeast from Wigram, but not sure which strain!
All bubbling nicely in the fermenter at 20deg.

- Hey Alelover,
Just had your CBM (think that's what was on the cap) wow mate what an awesome beer lovely hop aroma and a great malt taste with a hint of spices. So well balanced. As the beer warmed up a ginger aroma replaced the hops. What an awesome beer. I was disappointed when the glass was empty.
Thanks very much.
