Profile Information

Favorite Beers?

Guinness poured on a spit-on-the-floor pub over in the west coast of Ireland - it really is that good.
Favourite NZ bottle beers atm are Epic Armageddon and Three Boys Oyster Stout.

Favorite Breweries?

I've only actually visited a very few breweries - St.James Gate, Dublin Brewing Company, The Porter House, Speights, Leigh Sawmill Brewing Company, Emerson's

Favorite Bars/Pubs?

Missing the Irish pub feel, that's hard to find in NZ. The Malthouse and Bar Edward in Wellington are always pretty safe bets.

About Me:

Originally from Ireland, but came out to New Zealand in 2003. Started brewing in the second half of 2007.Started All Grain in January 2009, but have a whole lot to learn still, particularly with developing the correct grain bill and the right yeast for the job.

Thanks Nolen, and congrats to you too! I'm tempted to wrap the little one up in our hug-a-bub for a trip around Beervana, though not sure Mum would approve. I've also got 23L beer in storage and now wishing I had put down something better for aging.

Congratulations guys! There must have been something in the Wellington water 10 months ago that when mixed with malt, hops & yeast created the perfect beverage for fathering girls. Hope everything is going well for you all, and don't forget, hops h…

Congrats Glynn! I knew you guys were due recently and wondering how it was going. When you start brewing again, watch out for the 'baby brain'. I've already emptied a just refilled D size bottle of CO2 by leaving a valve open on the manifold. Doh! M…

We had Emerson lined up for a boys name, but then a little girl graced us with her presence. No brewing at all right now and missing it badly!

Thanks Mike, had a wee girl! Unfortunately for her, she apparently looks just like me. Other than that, her and Mum are doing great! I have noticed that my beer consumption and brewing has dropped drastically over the past two weeks, hopefully I ca…

Rough Wise Guy Ale

Most of my inspiration comes from sitting on the crapper, reading through a stash of BYO magazines. The latest issue has an article about Cloning beers, giving an example of Rogue Dead Guy Ale. This is nothing like it. The original called for 4kg Pale, 1.8kg Munich and 500g Carastan malt. Decided to break down the Munich and Carastan into Munich II, Vienna, Crystal and Melanoidin and a bit of Roast. 20 mins into the mash and god knows how it will turn out.

Up the Ginga Irish Red Ale

Already thinking about how I'm going to re-use my 1084 yeast cake from the stout I brewed last, after a little washing. The fermentation did in the end take off, slow and steady all the way. A little worried by floaties on the surface, but seems like the yeast hasn't yet dropped and a taste out of the carboy yields a pretty terrific brew- a couple of days in the fridge will cure that.

I'm a relatively large… Continue

First Post - Not so Ordinary Bitter, Searching for Stout

Finally decided to start up a brewing blog. I have a work blog which gets a lot of geeky stuff, and given it's syndicated on a bunch of technical planets, figured realbeernz was the place to host it. I'll mostly talk about the brewing gear that I buy, magazine articles I'm reading, and the beer that I'm brewing (and will likely learn from the comments or pass on the knowledge that I've been privileged to learn).… Continue

Here's my recipe if you're interested

At 4:55pm on October 7, 2009, Dale Cooper said…: Cool, hopefully Steve gets back to me. How many are you after?

At 2:33pm on July 3, 2009, Steph said…: Hey - Got your email but can't log into Facebook at work. We will be at Bar Ed on Sat but are not invited to the official event! We were at the Malthouse last night for an unofficial tasting - Sorry we missed you.

At 8:42am on June 5, 2009, Steph said…: Jealous-making. I love APAs, esp the real thing. Have a great trip and sample heaps. Hopefully see you at Beervana.

At 11:59am on June 2, 2009, Steph said…: Hi Glynn, I see you are coming to Beervana. I am coordinating the volunteers for BrewNZ. Did you know that if you volunteer for a session, you can get into another for free? Drop me an email at stephaniecoutts@yahoo.com.au if you are interested. I can send you the volunteer form. That will make your ticket free. Steph.

At 3:30pm on February 27, 2009, Steve Baker said…: Classic, I'm laying low this weekend - mostly getting over Of Montreal last night.

I'm tentatively brewing a Saison on the 7th at my place, you could always pop over and help make room in the keg...

At 3:16pm on January 28, 2009, Mr Cherry said…: Hi Glynn. Have you purchased any gear to with your kegs yet? I'm thinking of purchaing some kegs through Hallertau and then sourcing everything else from Craftbrewer. I remember reading that you were looking doing something similar. What sort of setup are you going for?
