No, weather here in NZ is good at the moment. We did have a day of heavy rain about 2 weeks ago that was a remnant of the Aussie rains but thankfully that was the only little taste of it that we got.
Yeah I always drink my hydrometer samples too and they usually taste nice but I did a new batch of American Pale Ale last night and it
tastes nasty - hope it's not an indication of the final product.
