What are you drinking ?

[jt]

Ok, so What Are You Brewing was a hotty, as topics go.

Now I'm 15 pints into a keg I only filled on Tuesday and wondering if anyone else has a favourite at the moment ?

It's my second brown with US-Oh05 and it's better than the forst, maybe Ikept the temps down a bit during the scorcher we had in januray

[Mike Neilson]

Cheers, About to brew another!! was not happy with the Okells Aile though. But in Saying that I'm allways dubouis when they have 'Beer Beir Piwo Cereviza' written on them.

Ahh .. 11 months later and I'm 14 pints into a keg of brown, filled on Tuesday, US-05.
I guess it's a seasonal thing eh ?
It's the best brown I've done for awhile. Dropped the hops a bit from previous, 1.040 and 20 IBU.
15 IBU NZ Willamette @ 60 and 5 @ 15 minutes

Yeastie Boy's Golden

This was the beer I tried to brew with my first AG. A lovely ale, I could have happily sat down to a nice few of them in the sun.

I won't ask for the recipe but I'd be keen to hear how many IBUs are hiding in there?

Sorry to steal your thunder Stu but try this Rusty:

Rusty - awesome compliment! Cheers. I'd love to try some. Were you drinking it at Pomeroys? Good little bar that one. Could see myself spending some time there if I lived down your way.

The next beer might disapoint the hop hunters a little bit... but Sam and I are both mad on mild, so you'll have to excuse us for this one batch ;-)

[Rusty Chch]

Thanks Stu,

Mine is long gone and definitely not up to that level, it was underhopped, hence my question.

Looking forward to the mild, one of my favourite styles too.

[Martin Bridges]

I'm a huge mild fan, so really looking forward to this.

Not managed any Golden Boy on tap (only bottles) and I don't expect any of the remainder will make its way to Auckland......?

[Stu McKinlay]

Nope, no bites from Auckland this time. Hallertau already had a list of summer guests and Galbraith's weren't keen. They kegs were all allocated before samples got dropped out this time anyway, so it's likely they would have missed out even if they wanted some.

Keith has already told me that the mild won't fit in at Galbraith's (they've got Mr G's now, which is on the mild/ordinary cusp) but we'll drop some samples to him and Steve at Hallertau anyway. Sam enjoys any excuse to visit them. Fingers crossed for you guys... I'm making it my mission to get in some tasting at The Malthouse this time because I missed PKB and Golden Boy when it was on tap there.

Stu - see if you can get a keg in at Rosie O'Gradies in New Plymouth. They seem to be the only open pub in town. They are serving Bass Pale and other stuff. I'm scared that it may be a Lion pub though cos' they serve Guiness too.

Edit - I meant Peggie Gordons in New Plymouth!!!

It's primo as when the brewers give you the numbers besides the mandatory %age.
