Smoky Cat Saison | Karl's Home Brewery

http://homebrewery.nz/smoky-cat-saison

My first saison – a French farmhouse ale. As with so may of these French/Belgiany beers, it’s the yeast that makes all the difference. I used a White Labs liquid yeast for this one. I used my technique of just not bothering to add the extra sugar, keeping this beer down below 6% abv. Just the thing for a thirsty farm-hand’s lunch. Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.051 SG. Original Gravity: 1.051 SG (my volumes were low so I added 2L water). Final Gravity: 1.009 SG. Actual IBU: 31.0 IBU. BU:GU Ratio: 0.63. I’ve b...

Mower Lager | Karl's Home Brewery

http://homebrewery.nz/mower-lager

A very malty and refreshing German lager. Crisp and with a little malt sweetness. This recipe worked well. The White Labs WLP838 Southern German Lager Yeast gave the beer a really authentic flavour and let the malt shine through. I’ll definitely be brewing this again! Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.052 SG. Original Gravity: 1.056 SG. Final Gravity: 1.015 SG. ABV: 5.5 %.

Port Hills Mild Ale. The name comes from the big fires in Christchurch in Feb 2017. I love the Port Hills and it’s hard to think of them all dark and roasty like this beer. I sent some down to my mate, who had to evacuate his house in Kennedy’s Bush. I hope they went down OK. Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.036 SG. Original Gravity: 1.039 SG. Final Gravity: 1.007 SG. Actual IBU: 17.0 IBU. BU:GU Ratio: 0.45. Mash water: 22L (I went with a thin mash for this one because of the oats and flaked barley). My first saison ...

http://homebrewery.nz/process/brewing-with-the-grainfather

Brewing with the Grainfather. Brewing with the Grainfather. I purchased my Grainfather in September of 2014, so I had one of the original run of 200. I bought mine from Hauraki Homebrew. In Auckland. I’ve always been very impressed with their service. They’re friendly, efficient, and they have a lot of great products. Shipping is free once you get over $30 worth. This meant that the Grainfather was free to ship down to me here in the South Island. Advantages over Brew in a Bag? If you build your own syst...

My brewing software | Karl's Home Brewery

http://homebrewery.nz/process/my-brewing-software

I think it’s important to have good brewing software if you want to brew a variety of good beers. I know that for thousands of years people have been brewing beer without the benefit of a glorified pocket calculator, but my answer to that is “Would the beer they made have been better had they access to MacBook Pro? What they needed was a thermometer and an awareness of the existence of microbes. Thankfully science came to the brewing world…. There are some other good reasons for using brewing software:.

Temperature control | Karl's Home Brewery

http://homebrewery.nz/process/temperature-control

When you first start brewing there are a bunch of different toys to spend your money on. There are shiny things, electric things, glass things, things with pipes everywhere and big steam-punk dials. It’s very hard to know what to go for next! My set-up is an old fridge that I purchased from trade-me. It cost about $30 and was in perfect working condition. Every now and then someone gives away an unwanted fridge too 🙂. My STC-1000, running the fridge, keeping my beer happy. A project box or case. These a...
