Brew Boys

By
Things have been getting more interesting on the brew front here. We currently have an imperial smoked stout fermenting, as well as the leftover grain from that made into a light ale.

Dustin and I are getting stoked that Beervana is getting closer because we are volunteering there and attending on the second day.

The boys have started a using a different mash tun method over the brew in a bag that they had done initially. I don't know if it's a permanent change or just for particular brews.




These were all the hops that went into Domo Arigato, Hops from Okato


Plus, to get an idea of the hops' flavour we made a tea as well.



If any of you reading this are good at graphic design and want to have a good at making a logo, get in touch! It's nearly time to start making labels for the beers ;)

I am sure we'll share more beer stories with you as we go. The stout is definitely going to be photo-worthy I reckon.

Taranaki Rugby!

By
Well the long hours of work and planning and helping friends demo sheds and paper shuffling and biking and cooking and eating and cleaning have caught up with us and Dustin has relinquished his right to tell his story from last week. **Note, the pictures are gross so beware if you are a little faint seeing blood... So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...) "Are you sure? I think it will take me too long to bike because I...
