What are you brewing?

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

Hmm to save confusion - my last post was replying to Bretts Coopers kit brew - not sure why it ended up under JTs post.

Just racked my Oud Bruin onto 30g of oak chips and pitched the Roeselare Blend. SG has come down from 1.070 to 1.018 with the American Ale yeast, so the bugs have still got something to go at.

 

Glad I wasn't doing a full brewday today - the shed thermometer was showing 39 degrees without any heat sources!

Brewing studio1's 'Spellbinder' today. Only things I'm doing differently is fermenting it with Wyeast Irish Ale (instead of US05), and using NZ Goldings (instead of Styrian).

Dont start brewing untill you have weighed out all the ingredients!! Like all of them down to the Kettle Finnings!! No kettle finnings equals Hazy polyphenolic beer yuck!! Not even a mad rush down to Great Expectations could save this beer (had none in stock??? wtf) What an Amatuer!!
