JT - Yeh its only been a week in the keg, so I shouldnt be so impatient, but like you say its supposed to drop like cement, and when I was kegging it it was fairly clear...
Hmmm, I hope some brett wasnt hiding in my transfer line - I was supposed to get another one after I did the old ale but never bothered, I could pay for it I guess...
Nice bit of Kapiti camembert. Porter Noir worked well.
Probably shouldn't have had the Stone IPA afterwards though. Delicious beer (like sticking my head in a hopsack) but led to me falling asleep on the sofa and don't feel too flash this morning.
Got a bit silly tonight.
Wicked Elf APA
Rogue Dead Guy
Mac's Gold (the 'best' the sports bar had, brutal boxing match though).
Mikkeller Jackie Brown
Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA
Flying Dog Gonzo Porter
Mikkeller Nelson Sauvin IPA
Townshend No. 9 Stout
Green Flash West Coast IPA
A wonderful night of sharing great beers with my mates.
Winners on the night were Mikkller Nelson Sauvin IPA and Green Flash West Coast(with a cigar).

Had the last bottle of Pink Panther last night (my home brewed Raspberry Wheat Beer). I'm really gonna miss that beer :-( It was my first attempt at fruit beer and I really enjoyed every bottle. I've only brewed a couple of beers this year that I've been really sad to see the end of, but this has definately been one of them. Might have to plan another fruit beer for summer...
The last glass of the APA that I was going to enter for the Wellington Brewers Conference competition. Pity I hadn't bottled my entry yet :-( I must get some of those stick-on keg guages from the States.

six-60-nine - not so blande ale Mk VIII - Super Alpha @ 60, Hallertau @ 30 & 15, cascade & motueka @ 1
Drinking the bottles I'd bottle primed and it's great - way better than the keg - much more flavour, great aroma.
The keg is definitely second best here, I suspect that it's the carbonation
Joking - any feedback on the batch that went north for the engagement - I think you had a similar hop combo in that ?
My last bottle of Belgian Rye :o( Man, is this good! Massive bubblegum aroma as I poured it into the glass, and even tho i bottled from the keg months ago its gained a wee bit of carbonation.. The spicy rye aroma still comes through at the end.. Tastes just devine, so smooth, slightly oily mouthfeel, damn drinkable and just awesome!!! So sad to see this one go, ill be savouring the bottle
