the old adage, if you get one bad batch you’re gonna tell the world, if it’s decent you’ll just keep your mouth shut, drink and enjoy it quietly.
That's an adage?
Must be a good saying, according to @mn5 logic, as I never heard that adage either.
All shit I make up on here is true, you should know that by now.

Congratulations then, you speak a lot of truth!
(I did silently agree with that post btw).

Any self respecting ferner would die before admitting they were wrong.
Anyway, back to beer talk. Had an espresso Martini Stout from Deep Creek. Really, REALLY good and the moment I started it I wished I’d had another.

Had one of these this afternoon, not bad at all.
Puhoi Beer | Award Winning Craft Beer I Czech Pilsner larger
Brewed in Auckland, New Zealand, Puhoi Beer is our award-winning take on the classic Czech pilsner. Pouring at Puhoi Pub and other venues.
Puhoi Beer is our version of the classic Czech pilsner.
Inspired by the original Bohemian settlers of Puhoi, Puhoi Beer is a drinkable lager with a bunch of character.
If we were trying to impress you we might have crapped on about Puhoi Beer being a mix of NZ and classic Czech noble hops that provide floral, citrusy, and spicy flavours on a light malt base with subtle bready and toasty characters. But we wouldn’t want to beer-bore you so let’s just say it’s bloody tasty.
Puhoi Beer also goes well with sunshine, tall tales, good yarns, and fish ‘n’ chips wrapped in newspaper.
Your first one tastes pretty good, and the second’s not bad either.

I much prefer Pilsners and Hazy's to IPA's, APA's etc at present.
Given how hot it is at the moment, beer is great! Wife got a box of Peroni on the weekend, those go down well too!

As I said above there are just TOO many Hazys but they are ridiculously popular so brewers are giving the people what they want which is some cases tastes like alcoholic Orange Juice.

@mn5 anything is better than the over-hopped IPA, Double IPA, APA etc that many brewews are making.
Generally, like anything, its easy to stay away from the rubbish Hazy's.

Loads and loads of full flavoured and strong as fuck stouts out there. Just don’t drive after having a couple under any circumstances.

@mn5 appreciate things are slightly different in Wellytarctica, but not really my drink of choice in warmer weather and she's been bloody warm up here the past fortnight or so...

I like both!
Brewed a fantastic Pilsner a few weeks ago that we're enjoying; but also love good hazy and hoppy IPA. Can't beat a nice clean lager/pilsner in summer

Any weather is good for a good stout

I received an early Christmas present of Kereru Brewing's Advent Calendar which comprises of 24 different beers for the 24 days of December before Christmas. I don't think I had drank any of their beers before, so it's a good opportunity to sample them. A cool idea to do this limited edition box.
The artwork on their cans is fantastic.

Nice idea, their beers are a bit of a mixed bag in terms of quality but then again that can be said of any brewery to be honest.

Haven't updated for a while but I have to say, I have loved getting into my home brewing.
On my 5th batch right now having previously brewed a Narci-Citrus IPA and a The Point IPA (both of which are the pre-packaged brew ingredient sets which I couldn't help but modify including making the second a Double IPA at 8.5%).
The third brew I just used the BrewArt ingredients rather than a kit to brew a Double Dry Hopped (DDH) Hazy IPA (my favourite thus far) and last beer which only came out of the Droid was made using a NEIPA Fresh Wort Kit (FWK) from all All Inn Brewing.
Everything thus far has turned out really well but there is always the steep learning curve but loving every minute of it.
Now today, it's a hot and humid day in Sydney so what better than enjoy a pour of your own DDH Hazy IPA on the balcony...?
Well I will tell you what is better, enjoying the first pour of your own beer out of your own Kegerator on the balcony.
I think I just found my own piece of heaven.

@roninwc best hobby in the world!
I took a mini keg away with me for Christmas. Love it
What brewing are you doing @nzzp ?
Kit, BIAB, All Grain, etc.?
Very much in awe of the guy who go all the way into all grain brewing. The precision and the commitment, just awesome. Some of these guys are turning out better than commercial craft beer quality Hazies, NEIPAs, as well as larger and pilsner.
Keen to do some of my own Brew in a Bag (BIAB) to get the core part of the wort done and then add some dry or extract malts or the BrewArt ingredients. And hops of course. And wow, the world of hops alone is staggering.
That's the great thing about the Droid, it's basically a 10 litre smart temperature controlled fermenter allowing you to brew all styles of beer without having to have your own temperature controlled environments during fermentation.
