It has been for about 2 years.
It is - Jamil picked up on the 'burnt rubber' aroma when I gave him some Emersons Pilsner during his visit earlier this year. It was the first I'd heard of it but now I can spot it.
Yeah, I spotted the first one. Didn't spot the second one though, but what do you expect from an advertising guy?
Home Brew Tasting at Brew On Quay
September 15, 2010 from 6:30pm to 8pm
Brew On Quay has kindly offered to host us so we can get together, try each others beers, talk homebrewing and try some of their great range of beers.
This has come out of the recent high numbers for the case swap so hopefully some of the up coming…
Just sampled the wort, and it tastes lush! Very sticky and thick, and that's even without the candi sugar! That'll be going in on Wednesday night after being boiled up with some recovered wort.
If anyone wants to use the magic of social media to keep in touch during Beervana this year, my Twitter ID is mgbridges.
James & I will apparently be behind the Brewers Guild stand, at least for part of the session. Also on the door at some stage.

Pilgrim said… - Hi Martin,
I'll be going to the Quay Street venue. I have some presents for SOBA members ;-)
A friend who worked as a barman in the UK collected bar towels and gave me a whole heap when he was having a cleanout. I told him I would distribute them to worthy recipients. I'll bring a long a dozen or so to distribute to any SOBA members there.
If you're going to make it later I'll put one aside for you. There's a nice Fullers London Pride one there :-)
Cheers
Pete.

- "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.

Shane Morley said… - 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.

crabbey said… - 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...

Stu McKinlay said… - Hassled to brew a pale IPA?
That must be as opposed to a Black IPA? Which you'll be able to drink in a month or so...
