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

[JoKing]

What's the local Brewery in the Waikato??? Hook me up bro - that stuff is the business!

[Dave]

The wife and I are working on the gold coast for a while and have burleigh brewing co just down the road. You're right though it smells soo good. I think I might have to dry hop with mainly citra.

Became a big fan of their Pale Ale while I was over there about two weeks ago. Very well balanced beer. Waaayy too drinkable. As an aside, it was about $1.50 more than a battered looking 6-pack of a Tui...

Wyeast 3711 PC report

I'm just trying my first glass of saison (copyright my arse), brewed with the 3711 yeast. Thought I'd let you know my thoughts (what ever thath's worth) in case some of you were thinking of ordering it in the next round.

It is indeed very attenuative, 1.006 achieved without any effort, 24 d3g temp at the end. I even stuffed my mash temp up, mashing too high at 68 deg, still it just kept going. Its fairly subdued compared to the other saison styled yeasts, not intense bubble gum or tropical fruit, so I can see how adding spices or hops would work well. Lastly, its not thin at all, still feels like theres body there, possibly helped by having a proportion of wheat in my grist.

Cheers! Think i'll have another
