In return, you got a good IPA recipe? Gonna make a cask conditioned IPA for next yrs Marchfest. It's got to be traditional. 5% plus, nicely hoppy. My beers are malt driven, so the hops need to back it up.
Let me know if you have anything.
Cheers, M

I see the SOBA announcement mentioned a competition for APA or NZ Pale Ale, I thought it was APA only? Be a bit difficult for the judges trying to judge two styles against each other and anyway my 58 IBU APA will kick ass :-)

- Hi Mike,
Saw your message to SOBA about the Wellington Conference and had a look at your website. Laughed my socks off. Now I understand your avatar, you obviously love getting plastered :-)
Pete.

Steph said… - Hi Mike, you are missing Bar Ed from you list. As a Wellingtonian, surely you've been there? Anyway, I am coordinating the volunteers for BrewNZ. I see you are coming along. 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.

Nolen Smith said… - Hey Mike, tried your NZ Pilsner last night, man did I enjoy it. The balance of bitterness and aroma was spot on for my tastes. The NZ hops really did shine - it's exactly what I though a NZ Pilsner should taste like. It actually reminded me a lot of Tuatara IPA, funnily enough.
I'd love the recipe to try converting to a partial mash. Or at least your hop bill and schedule!?!? Cheers!

- That was it, the Robust Porter... I have peaks and troughs re being a hop-head. At the moment my pallet is favouring the more malty, lower bitterness ales. Again, loved the flavours of the porter, but a wee more bitter than I'm leaning towards at the moment.

- Yea, that's the one I haven't tried yet. I've had a variety of experiences with smoked beers, so looking forward to it. Did you smoke the malt yourself or buy it smoked? I've been looking at trying to do an amber/brown using 'home made' mesquite smoked malt. I'll get around to it later in the year.

- I've only had three thus far. I just remembered that I drank the Imperial Stout (it is the Porter that uses smoked malt, right?) late last week. I really enjoyed it as well. It was a bit more bitter than prefer for stouts, but it was damn nice. I'm looking forward to the barley wine, but I'm trying to save it for last.

- G'day Mike. Cracked open your NZIPA on the weekend. Really nice. You can definitely taste the NZ hops. I loved the bitterness but I do find the piney/grassy flavour of those hops a bit much sometimes... but that's just my personal preference. It was an awesome beer, well done.
I'm bottling my mild tonight, so I'll try another of yours while I'm bottling (I'm very superstitious, I have to have a beer when I'm working with beer or something will go wrong).

- I was really tempted to have the Imp Stout, but wasn't sure I was in the mood. But honestly, I was mighty impressed with the Dubbel. I'll have another one tonight and let you know what I thought.
What finning did you use on it? The yeast was really nicely compacted.
I have a few kegs nearly ready and will be bottling some (a mild and a spiced winter ale). I'll put a couple aside for you to try and feedback on.
