Hey, cheers! Yeh, I love that new Byrne/Eno album. I've been a bit of a country/folk fan for years but the "pop" end of both of those genres make me a little scared to admit it. It's like saying you like Mild - hell, I love mild!!!
It was nice to get a free plug to the Yeastie Boys. So much other stuff I could have said. I definitely thought I'd remember to plug SOBA. I'm not going to listen to the archive. I made the mistake of watching myself on TV earlier in the year. Was like watching a stunned rabbit in headlights (wearing an old t-shirt too!).

Hi there... r.e. beer swap... I've sent plastic bottles with NZ couriers (pre paid bags) no hassles. I have a couple of 1.125L bottles left - I'll send you 1 if you are keen. Just email me your address, and I'll send you mine: jo.wood@xnet.co.nz

Hi there - yeah mate I'm always keen! I can see the hospital from my place too. If they are around on the 24th, I'll be around and can meet up to trade no probs. I have available the following: Blonde Ale 5.5%, Special Bitter 5.1%, IPA 7.8% 90IBU, and a nice Hefe 4.7% - nice banana. Take your pick, and I'll spare a 500ml bottle for ya!

Hey there bud...

Just get your folks to bring up a swappa crate bottle - I'll swap back some IPA in one of those bottles too.

Tony - change the profile pic. You're hiding the Yeastie Boys tap badge in this one!

Oh, yeh... I was thinking Renaissance. It's a good pic, I like it. About to crack your mild... just making some dinner, so it'll see me through until I sit down.

Glad I inspired you mate :o) Im guessing you brew traditionally? If so it actually makes it way easier to caramelise, plus you get to sparge a little more so it helps with your efficiency if you do a full 5 litres!

Yeah - it definately appears that the majority of those photos are hop related! Those smoothcone hops ripped some decent wounds when I picked them! We ended up with 2 full 20 Liter bucketfuls of them... Showers hurt for the following few days.

Sorry I missed you. Funny you mention molasses... someone that I gave a bottle of Imperial PKB to was talking molasses to me last night. I've never actually tried it but I do have a tub of it at home (courtesy of Joking). How was the gig? Last time I ran to SFBH I waited 90 minutes for the band to come on. Yeasayer - they really rocked, so the wait was worth it.

I'm so big on drumming at the moment... sometimes I can't hear anything else. I really want to see The Decemberists, their drummer - John Moen - is really doing it for me. And Glenn Kotche seen him twice in the last year... phenomenal.

Hey - thanks for that mate! It's always a headswell to be compared to professional brewers aye! I'd like to get a headswell about it, but US hops are so much easier to get right than NZ ones... which would make the Renaissance one very impressive. I havent heard what hops Graham uses in the 666 IIPA, but if it's anything like his other beers - I'm sure it was fantastic.

Sure thing - I'll try and make sure that there is a pint left over if you like. I got a bit ahead of myself on it though, as it is tasting good now: a lot better than it did when I cracked it! Always the way I suppose.

Gidday mate - it was a great catch up. I'm stoked that you liked the Porter... It's funny how different beers fit different proples tastes. I don't think it was flawed - but as you say...it's definately lifeless. I'm glad you got home in one piece too - take care.

Mr F... I'm a bit tied up with these Case Swap beers... but your 2 are just around the corner. Before I commit though - could you please clarify again... That Stout - does my memory serve me correctly, and did you indeed use 500g of Vlack Malt in it? Or was I too drunk to be using a memory?
At 2:35pm on August 12, 2009, JoKing said…
Gidday mate... Did those hops arrive at work? I sent them about 2 weeks ago.
At 5:13pm on August 12, 2009, JoKing said…
Not at all brother!!! I was just worried that the couriers had lost them.... I haven't had a good track record with them as of late.

Hey there B man.....

Your BBB (bambuleblondbier) arrived speedily this weekend. It is in good hands, and I'll let you know when she is consumed!

Cheers.

Can you lead me to your recip for it? I'd like to know what the strain is... I had no idea it was that strong! I'll leave it in the fridge for a fortnight to help with the fire.

Yup, I just toasted some malt (Pilsner actually) in the oven. Unfortunately I can't lay my hands on the exact link I used to look up the toasting times. I think it was 15-30 mins at 180 degrees. Just keep an eye on it and give it a slight stir from time to time. Hope it works out OK for you.
