It was my favourite too. But the last time I tried Brewski it was a diacetyl bomb...

Beervana - Session 3 at Wellington, New Zealand
August 28, 2010 from 12pm to 4pm
Come to the Wellington Town Hall for the ultimate beer tasting. Try beers from Auckland to Invercargill! This opportunity happens only once a year to sample the freshest brews which have come from many many miles apart - all in one room, surrounded…

I get some herbaceous Belgian flavours only when it's room temperature. Any kind of chill hides it all.
Took 5L out of a batch of my 6.2% gingered ale and threw in 250g of cranberries. Added a nice cranberry tartness and a reddish tinge.
I've got one beer ready (cranberry ginger beer) and hope to pull finger and get one more done.
I've heard from Soren that US-05 improves immensely in the second generation. I think JoKing said the same.
Dry hop the hell out of it and see what happens :-P
1st Birthday at Hashigo Zake
September 9, 2010 to September 10, 2010
We'll be one year old this September. Between now and then we'll be looking for the most memorable ways to celebrate.
Still plenty left at Hashigo... Malthouse has a few kegs going as well.
I've been using an insulated 40L plastic fermenter as my mash tun for months now and have noticed no ill effects. I wouldn't worry about a chilli bin either, you'll be fine.
In my experience star anise needs a couple of months to round out, then it comes through strong. I used 4 stars in a 20L batch and it had a good hint of anise. Whenever I use coriander seeds I use a whole pack of the greggs ones you get at the super…
As far as I'm aware Ben has a small brewery on Waiheke isl, so this may have come from there. His last release was the Dortmunder under the NZNBC label (New Zealand Natural Brewing Company).
Odd that it's appeared in the US before here though.
Weyermann or Peat smoked malt? If it's peat smoked then it'll be undrinkable for a year or so.
Brewed this American Stout the other day. It's version 2.0 of my second ever brew, with more hops! The first version was great, very excited about this one.
Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 84.42 %
Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (39.4 EBC) Grain…
Profile Information
- Favorite Beers?
- Tripel is my favourite style, so Westmalle Triple, Tripel Karmeliet, Moa St Josephs, Corsendonk Agnus or any authentically done Abbey style Tripel is highest on my list. Otherwise, sharing a ( at least 5 year old) Thomas Hardys Ale with a friend is unbeatable, or any kind of crazy Belgian Strong style (Oerbier, Tremens, Cochonette etc).
In short, I like Belgian beers!
- Favorite Breweries?
- Emersons, De Dolle, Brouwerij Huyghe, Trappist anything (excliding La Trappe), Pink Elephant, Rodenbach.
- Favorite Bars/Pubs?
- Malthouse, Bar Edwards. Regionals, but its not really a bar/pub. I do give them most of my money though.
- About Me:
- I'm a 3rd year Bsc student, majoring in chemistry. I also write the beer column for 'Salient' the VUW student mag as 'dave the beer guy'.
I'm always keen to try something new, I hope to have rated thousands of beers in the next few years.

- You can brew with me sometime - we could combine it with polishing off the Russian River (after, not during!)

I had the chance to get a free La Trappe glass the other day, but they had sold out. At first I was disappointed, then I realised that La Trappe is rather crap. But then again, Moosehead is rather crap - the glass is entirely sentimental value... Plus some practical value for those lumbering stouts that fit no glass comfortably...
