Anyone used Belgian Candy Sugar before? I'm about to be a first time user and I hear it's rather expensive table sugar. Mar 30

You may want to read the main hop rhizome thread, there are usually offers on there. http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/forum/topics/1500433:Topic:11669 :)

Any Hop growers out there?

I'm looking at growing hops. I already have two that were taken from cuttings. One from Monteiths Brewery in Greymouth and one from The Buried Village in Rotorua. But does anyone here grow and sell cuttings? I'm keen to expand on my hop varieties an…

Thanks! I found some growing wild last weekend so I've used them in two brews. They seem very mild. All I know is that they're a smooth cone variety.

A variety of hops that is a Cali Late Cluster open pollinated. They're pretty easy to get a hold of. Haven't brewed with them yet but have a kinda spicy, lemon rind aroma.

About Me:

Gosh! Where to start?

I'm rather normal and ordinary, but that's just me. I don't claim I invented the question mark or hear voices in my head, I'm not on any medication or anything like that so I think I might be onto a winner. Though sometimes I get thrown out of bed by this poltergiest thing and slammed pretty hard against the wardrobe doors, but that's ok. I've stapled big pillows to the doors now so I don't get a big door knob in the back, I'm quite used to it. It's kinda fun now, I no longer have to set my alarm as this pissed off ghost has the tendancy to chuck me out at 6:45am, can you believe that? The exact time I get up for work! I'd like to travel a bit more too, I'm thinking the Amazon, I want to introduce olive oil and tuscan spice to the local cannibals, exchange some cooking tips too. Imagine how tough the meat must be? Those poor little darlings. There's never a thing as too much smoked paprika or garlic and herb salt. A delight for the taste buds! I might even try and sell them the odd fridge or two. Maybe even introduce them to the sounds of "Sergio Mendez & Brasil 66 - Mais Que Nada" while the cute little fellows have a big cook up. Aw, bless!

Rye..

Has anyone here brewed a beer using Rye? I just bought a 1kg bag of the stuff the other day. I guessing it might be good for a Saison? I'm told it gives a dry, spicy finish. Is this true?

Hop vines.

Is there anywhere in NZ that sells Hop Vines?

I'm in Wellington and was wondering if there's a place nearby that might have them. Would they be available at any garden centre? (probably not eh.)

If anyone here knows I'd be grateful.

Advice please?

I just recently (Sunday midday) brewed a Bishops Tipple clone. (I'm hoping) It was a partial mash, using:

1.5Ib pale malt,

500gms crystal malt

1oz black malt

1oz wheat malt

A can of coopers real ale for malt extract.

Goldings Hops

750gms Golden Syrup

2oz Molasses

And Safale s-04

The airlock on the fermenter only just started bubbling now when I got home from work. Normally when I brew, the airlock starts to bubble within an hour.

Should I be worried?

Quick question:

What do you good people use to sterilize your brew buckets/carboys/brewing equipment etc?

Porter

Does anyone have any good Porter recipes they'd like to share? I'm looking at making a Porter for the winter and would like some ideas if possible, I normally do a partial mash (grains, hops and a can of malt extract) and am looking for an excuse to put my black malt and roast barley to good use!

Cheers in advance! :D
