Up until now SOBA meetings in the Auckland area have been held monthly on the second Saturday of each month at 2pm in various different locations. Over the last year attendance at these meetings has dropped, so I'm wondering if it's time to try a di…

SOBA is excited about the April 1st release of Mac’s Brewjolais seasonal beer, and is looking to celebrate the event in style and en masse.

Crystal is a specialty malt. The key difference here is that it can be just steeped to extract the sugars - you don't need to mash it as you would with a 'base' malt such as a standard pale ale malt.

I'll be stopping over in Auckoland on 1st April on my way to a friends place at Mangowhai Heads, so would love to catch up with other members there. Just need the details of where the bar is.

That's for sure Martin. I've been in the industry since 1985 when I joined the Wanganui Computer Centre as a trainee programmer. I was threatened with redundancy in November last year but got a reprieve on Christmas Eve. In the interim time I looked around for jobs in Wanganui and couldn't find anything that would pay even half as much as IT work.
Hey Martin, I'm planning to brew your donkey oatie this weekend, with some minor adjustments, maris otter, pale chocolate and 1968 yeast. Whats the deal with toasting your own victory malt? I imagine you whack some pale in the oven at a certain temp for a certain time? Thanks for the recipe, I love a good oatmeal stout, but only tend to make 1 a year.

Martin, do you remember if there were problems pouring our Fuggles at BrewNZ, I remember someone mentioned it and the tasting notes we have just recieved sounds like there may have been an issue with the beer.
Hey Martin, what are the details of your kettle arrangement? kW of each element? Boil volume? The verdict? I'm looking for an element for my 40l kettle and wondering what I should buy...
Thanks for the props Martin. More than happy to send you some thoughts if you are hoping to brew it. Craig has 20L left if you want to give your handpump a test run too ;-)
