Go for it. It may not be "truly english" but you'll no doubt get something tasty. Plus you can make a load of scottish ales :)

nothing beats a good brown ale (american or english i dont mind which)

I just wanna watch the world burn...........

Gotta say I'm really enjoying the whiny cry baby traditionalists, "why is my IPA hazy" Waaaa.

Perfectly put. Here in NZ we have SOBaA, it is much like the "craft beer association in the US. They do minimal for the homebrewingcommunity, and more for the craft beer and brewing community (although many commercial brewers, bars etc have mentioned that they're generally pretty uselss. but...

Wow, sounds like they got things sorted. The app sounds really good, and clever. So it might be worth investing sometime into stuff like that down the track. I see they have a good sized team to keep up to date on stuff too. Is there anything els,e i should be thinking about on this?

Thanks Max, A really good balanced review. The liquor licensing laws are relatively liberal here, which is great, so at least i can discount that off a big list of things to do. This is a really good point, something I should look into a bit more probably. What kind of discounts etc and...

Hi Team, I live in New Zealand. We have a big number of homebrewers in New Zealand. However, we have no "over-arching" national homebrew entity as such. SOBA is our current closest, which is the society of Beer Advocates, they generally operate with a commercial intent (i.e. they have little...

Such a good yeast. Hot Tip for E-IPA people. Add 10g (0.35oz) of chinook to the dryhop, so a really subtle pine finish and another layer.

are you adding caramel to a brown ale? or you just want a sweeter brown ale?

I haven't double dryhopped or biotransformed etc on a NEIPA. I've double dryhopped plenty of IPA's and so o,n but never really saw the results fro mteh extra effort (as small as it was) Just my opinion. But either way, there are plenty of guys who swear by it.

Personally, I only dryhop once. that more for time and lazyness than trying to acheive anything. i personally am not sold on bio transformation and double dryhopping. to me the biotransformation only adds to haze, rather than hop flavor/aroma but each to their own, it seems to be...

Keep it simple - follow your stanard process. and dont add flour. pils/pale wheat and oats is all you need really low bittering hop either FWH or 60 shedloads of late hops at flameout whirlpool times. dryhop with even more. check out this link to a good recipe (iut has a few extra...

When in Bruges hit up De Halve Maan. They do Brewery Tours and you get a complimentary glass of their famous Zot. Fantastic Beer. You go through with an entertaining flemish woman with a dry sense of humour. brussel cantillon is a must. FYI it always looks closed.

if i buy frozen from the store this is all i do. while not sanitary, its generally cleaned and in good shape. the alcohol should kill the majority of bugs anyway. if its frssh, i tend to use a camopden tablet once its ready to rack.

i wqould even suggest in most cases sanitation of fruit is not really required (unless using things like peaches with fuzzy skin etc.) if you buy pre-frozen from the store, they dont need sanitation. buying fresh and freezing is a good way to help leach flavor out, easily enough to carry out...

2.5:1.5:1 Combo of the following Mandarina Bavaria, Motueka, Mosaic

1469 or 1275 are fantastic

See i had the opposite - i rinsed my starsan off once for some unknown reason, and it got infected.

Sadu, have a chat with Craftwork in Oamaru. they'rerunning 50/100 litre brew kits. its defintely not a full tiem job if you go the smaller route. its a big reasons why guys like behemoth are cotnract only. its easier, faster and there no outlay of purchasing equipment etc. if you brew...
