Even though most of what I write about is other people's beer I still get up to a bit of home brewing every now and then. The reality is I can't get through a full brew by myself in less than about six months. That doesn't stop the empty bottles building up though and they were starting to get out of control. The only solution was that I needed to fill them up with more beer.
A prior visit to Brew Zealand when I had been in Petone
meant I had all the gear I needed. This time I decided to spend a little more and invest in a Mangrove Jack's Craft Series IPA. The method was all the same. Clean, water, malt, brew enhance, yeast. I decided not to add any hops to this one. Might as well see what the standard tastes like before changing it. Once the airlock was bubbling away nicely it was just a matter of waiting for the time to pass; at least 10 days this time, rather than the usual seven.
