After a break of a few months I've finally got some more brews on, a brown ale and a cider! It feels good to have some brews bubbling away!

So, has anyone heard about this? I got wind of it from a local beer blog, looks like Sam is coming to NZ, where he's going to be a guest judge at Beervana-NZ's biggest beer festival and beer awards. Epic, a prominent NZ craft beer is going to be featured in the programme, and I believe a...

Just thought some of you might be interested in this. My favourite NZ craft brewer, Luke Nicholas of Epic Brewing (Mmmmmm Epic Armageddon IPA), is going to do a collaborative Festival Beer with Dogfish Head...

So, I was just wondering if I am the only one. I haven't had any brews on the go since I last bottled about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately I've just been a bit too busy (or lazy) to get any done, which is unforgivable as I'm still doing canned kits, so it's not like it even takes me that long. It's...

So, I've found a source in China for conical fermenters, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience. There's not much around here in NZ, and I'm kinda interested in importing and hopefully selling a few. Not as an on-going business (I don't think there'd be enough on-going demand in a nation...

Yeeee har! Scored a keg from a friend in the weekend, now just got to get to work on it! Full boils here I come! :ban: Sorry, just had to get that out there, I'm a bit excited. Got my 7th "can and kilo" kit into the fermenter in the weekend, and am looking forward to the world of options...

After a lot of looking, I've found a site that I can buy US beers here in NZ! At last I can taste some of the beers that get talked about here and other places. New Belgium, Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada, Samuel Adams! Looks like the credit card is about to take a pounding! Not just US beers...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has used Coopers 750ml bottles for their brew? They look pretty sturdy, and they claim to be "Bottle Fermented" so I'm picking that they'll be OK. That said, they aren't refillable, by the look of them (unlike the good ol' kiwi ABC "swappa" bottles), so I'm...

Alright, so I've been struggling with a name for my brewery..... and hoping for some help! I've managed a couple of brew names, but I'd really like to "theme" my brewery and the subsequent brews. My first 2 brews are "Smashed Legend Lager" - named (and labelled with a pic) for my Honda Legend...

Ok, well searching NZ Pub didn't yield any results, so anyone here from NZ and got any recommendations? Personally, I'm from Auckland, and my favourites (in no particular order) would be Galbraiths, Leigh Sawmill, and the Belgian Beer Cafe's (Occidental especially) and yes, Cock and Bull too...

Hi all, names Mike, living in New Zealand (anone else around from here?). I'm about as noob as noob can be (just got my first brew on last week) but I've already found the site an awesome help, so cheers! :mug:
