Q. If I'd added about 5L water to dilute the wort this would have hit my target OG. So if I added it now to bring it down to the expected FG of about 1014 is that the same thing?

I recently got involved in my first foray with liquid yeasts. I got my buddy to grow and make gycerol stocks of the two wyeast strains (3068 and 1272) incidentally. We did it at his work (he's a yeast scientist). Man they had air sterilizers and all…

Martin townshend said… - Cool. I'm well proud of the #9. What hops did you use?
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!
