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

[NVIOUS]

I think it will go down real nice.

That IPA IS the shit!

Defiantly make it again!

[JoKing]

What are your feelings on the bittering character from the 60min hop addition?

[NVIOUS]

I really like it. It does hand around a tad but I feel this adds to the pizazz!!

Hey good recipe.

I am brewing something very similar tomorrow. APA, is one om favourite styles. As soon as I have formulated my recipe, I'll post it.

'Miami Weiss' today
1 tin Muntons Wheat
.5kg Wheat Malt
.5kg Pils Malt
15g NZ Pacific Hallertau @60

16 liters of which half will become "I've been talking to Peachy Peach about Kissy Kiss' next weekend when i add some pasteurized peaches in 2ndary to see what happens

1 tin Muntons Wheat? Where did you get that?

[Ally Mcg]

Your Shout from Linwood Ave in Chch. Unlike the Black Rock wheat kit, this one actually contains wheat malt (or so the label says)

[MrC]

Yeah I remember LOL at that in the shop one day, a wheat beer with no wheat.

I read somewhere that Muntons Wheat DME is 40% wheat. I would guess that the LME would be the same.

Good luck with the fruit part. I'm planning on doing something similar one day.

[Ally Mcg]

Yeah, i wonder what it tastes like - the Black Rock i mean. Will anyone own up to having brewed with it?

Cheers - will let you know how the fruit turns out. Thought I'd try something a little different having had the Boysenbeery and enjoyed it

[Reviled]

Is that the black rock "whispering wheat"?? I brewed a Hoegaarden type beer with it and it came out pretty well for a k&k, probably the best kit ive ever done!!

well, I hit my OG of 1.041 but instead of 21L I got 19L. This is the second time this has happened (my water calcs need some work obviously - new to Beersmith). I worked out my eff. at 64% according to Beersmith. Something doesn't seem to be going right for my BIAB - I should be hitting 75% surely....
