No more lurking

[ol-hazza]

I have been lurking in the shadows getting a ton of advice of this site, and this culminated on my first all grain brew over the weekend (see my other post for details).

Im from New Zealand and have been brewing for the last couple of years but in the last few months have stepped it up and moved away from just using kits (mainly).

I grew up drinking New Zealand Draughts (which are essentially light/amber lagers) and English bitter, but in more recent years have been introduced to craft beers and decided to get into it myself.

as far as my current brews go I have an Ordinary Bitter and a Black Rock Cider (extract) for drinking, and IPA an porter bottle conditioning and a Bock, English Pale ale (all grain) and another BR cider in the fermenters.

Happy homebrewing everyone

NZ has some wonderful hops, I would love to do a NZ IPA.

'bout time you stopped lurking... What took you so long?



I lurked for a year... signed up for free for a year... then went all-in with a lifetime membership

Nice little resource we've got going here!

Welcome... finally

Its a great resource, half the reason I didn't join is that all the questions I had were answered by another thread I think
