Profile Information
- Favorite Beers?
- You can't beat a Guinness on a good day. However, it needs to be drunk on the west of Ireland in a thatched rural pub with a peat briquette slowly burning on the fireplace. Good times.
Favourite NZ bottle beers at the moment are Yeastie Boys PKB, Three Boys Oyster Stout and Twisted Hop Sauvin Pilsner.
- Favorite Breweries?
- I've only visited a very few breweries - St.James Gate, Dublin Brewing Company, The Porter House, Speights, Leigh Sawmill Brewing Company, and Emerson's.
- Favorite Bars/Pubs?
- Missing the Irish pub feel, that's hard to find in NZ. The Malthouse, Hashigo Zake and Bar Edward in Wellington are always pretty safe bets.
- About Me:
- Irish, but living in New Zealand since 2003. Started brewing in the second half of 2007, and all grain in January 2009. Taking a bit of a hiatus from November 2009 due to living in an apartment in Wellington city. I will be back.

Wellington, the beer capital of New Zealand! A place for Wellington residents (and wannabe Wellington residents) to share information and beer.
Congrats Stu! Sounds like the day was a cracker. Great line up of drinks for your guests, nicely done!
We polished off all the craft beer at Furneaux for our wedding, and shipped in a sneaky keg of Guinness. Of course best of all was getting up at…
I had a Pliny on tap today. I may have had an off day at the Rose and Crown in Palo Alto, but it was nothing, *nothing* close to my first tasting of Motueka, Yakima or Summ!t last week.
Hey there. Anyone want to go to the Emersons Beer Tasting tonight in my place? I'm standed in the Wairarapa :( If so give me a call 0272175169 cheers
On vague memories, I think they usually serve with the sparkler on - but you can of course ask to take it off.

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.

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

Mr Cherry said… - Cheers Glynn, I was looking at the stout recipe on your blog the other day and I was surprised how similar the recipe was to mine. Not too surprised that they tasted similar. Thanks for the feedback.
Here's my recipe if you're interested

- 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.

- 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...
