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

[Matthew]

Dayam. That T-58's already taken it down to 1.012 and that was before the inverted sugar! Added the sugar anyway so I'm guessing this could go single digits. Within a couple of hours the yeast was right back into it and the airlock is bubbling away nicely. Tasted great too, not a lot of the orange peel came through but the bitterness has completely backed off. I'm stoked with this, it's changing from a saison to a strong blonde ale.

Im yet to try T-58, keep me posted!

Global Vienna now?? Nice!

[JoKing]

I'm thinking about distributing this stuff soon. So far, they have:

Pils
Wheat
Koelsch
Vienna
Munich
Cara 15ebc
Cara 40ebc
Cara 110ebc

I've probably missed heaps!

[Reviled]

You should bro! Then I wont have to buy 25kg at a time of things such as Munich ;o)

Its just stink that you live in New Plymouth ;o( Should move back to AKL ;oP lol

[denimglen]

Would be keen on buying 110EBC cara off you if you ever did start distributing.

[Stu McKinlay]

This could well be perfect timing Joseph.

[JoKing]

I'll get some rights to your website Stu... how much will that cost?

[Stu McKinlay]

nothing... because it'll probably be closing down soon

[MrC]

Does that mean Liberty will stop trading soon? I hope not.

[Glynn Foster]

+1 for not wanting to see Liberty Brewing die (other than servers having issues). Really wonderful to be able to put in an order and collect it in person soon after. I don't mind if it ends up being slightly more expensive than other options - the service is worth it alone.
