What are you brewing?

[nzbrewer]

Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

[Mark]

That's a nice looking recipe, but I ended up using info on the 8 wired website, which is a bit mixed. Subbed  Rakau for Jade/Pacifica/Cascade, dunno if it will be anything like it but I threw in a fair amount late in the boil to try and get some aroma.

[Soren]

Just saw this now, how did it end up? Everything looks pretty good but to get it like rewired I think you really need to use the cascade/pacifica combo. I use a pinch of CaCO3 and also a larger amount of gypsum and CaCl. How did it work with rakau?

[Mark]

Hey Soren, the Rakau experiment wasn't really a success, it's an unusual hop with strong stone fruit flavours. It's tasting a bit like a brown apricot fruit beer at the moment! The malts taste ok, but the overall effect is nothing like Rewired. Pity.
