Brewjolais Day at Mac's Brewbars in Auckland, Wellington, Nelson & Christhcurch
April 1, 2010 from 6pm to 8pm
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.

- "The IT industry may be dull, but it certainly provides a standard of living which is hard to give up."
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.

Bambule said… - 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.

That must be as opposed to a Black IPA? Which you'll be able to drink in a month or so...

- 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 ;-)
