That looks fool proof enough that even I couldn’t fuck it up.

@roninwc welcome into the rabbit hole.
Looks a nice bit of kit. I went the other way, started big, with 100L brews. Scaled back since, but dropped an 80L pilsner brew last weekend.
Good fun, best hobby in the world. Enjoy it, but manage your consumption and keep the exercise up. First year i had beer on tap, I put on 10kg. Not complaining, just observing ... it's awesome but high alcohol beers are scary full of empty calories.
Well, empty but for taste.
did you find a tasty sweet spot between not so high calories and a good tasting beer?

Kinda.
Lower alcohol table beers are good, otherwise manage consumption😀

have i had a rave about these bad boys yet
I've dubbed them Richie McCaws and they are fucking amazing. A pale cloudy gold colour. Bit fruity in flavour but not bad. Not a sour either. Refreshing served real cold from a glass. Not overly sessionable (i've never had more than 4 in a sitting) but at 6% that's not bad.
Would absolutely recommend

shame they wouldn't have the cash to be the main AB sponsor. The jersey would be fantastic..

Just had McLeod's new seasonal sour beer Wicker Basket Tropical Sour. Nice balance of fruit and tartness. Good way to start a session.

This is the saddest thing I have seen all year and that’s saying something.

People would lie in the gutter for less.
Edit "The disposal will occur over several weeks as Westport’s drains cannot cope with all the beer at once." Not only am I sad there is one less reason to go drinking along the West Coast (and from memory Westport was a lovely place to visit as a drinking tourist, many natural storytellers there), I am having trouble visualizing how much beer is too much for their drains-they get a fair amount of rain-2600 or so mm a year (more than twice Auckland or Wellington). -

Noice!
Yeah. Had that last night. Like the style they have developed there. Takes away the fruit juice element of a hazy but keeps the mouth feel.
Refreshingly dry. -
Had McLeod's Longboarder on tap at Mangawhai Golf Club this afternoon...top drop, but even better after golf!
