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?
Its what the Big boys do, you have to be carfull with ph and all that…

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…

hahaha.....bogun brewers unit! Might be the name of my next brewery lol. SAeriously, I started @ 14 while at Upper Hutt College and compared brews with my maths teacher, a Vietnamese guy who made a great simple lager.
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
Try and keep me away :-)
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.
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.
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!
