Saturday, 10 September 2016. Leffe Radieuse With M47 and Brettanomyces. Beers influenced with Brettanomyces, whether that is a mixed culture for a saison, or aged in secondary. To explore the different flavours etc. of such a versatile organism. So, on that note, I have brewed wha is essentially a clone of one of my favourite belgian beers. Leffe Radieuse. Its spicy, phenolic, with lovely notes of caramel, dates and raisins. SO, Here Goes. Batch Size: 21 Litres. Estimated OG: 1.068. Boil Time: 90 Minutes.

The Beer Crusade: October 2016
http://beercrusades.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 20 October 2016. Hoppy Brett Saison (Nelson Sauvin). After a number of Brettanomyces influenced Saisons etc, I saw this strain, and thought I'd give it a shot. but what would I brew with it? Some thing traditional maybe? Or should I push the boat out, and add fruits and/or spices? OR What about an imperial Saison, similar to my S J Porr challenge beer last year. (Tart Saison aged on Chardonnay Oak cubes). But then I thought to myself, who doesn't love hops? WLP670 - American Farmhouse Blend.

The Beer Crusade: NE Pale Ale
http://beercrusades.blogspot.com/2016/08/ne-pale-ale.html
Tuesday, 16 August 2016. There's been a fair bit of chatter about this so called "Style". Some hate the haze, and consider it to be poor brewing style, others love it, saying its like a lovely Orange Juice beer. Soft bitterness, with juicy hop flavours. I have no idea what t o think - so I decided to brew one. I mean why the hell not right? For me. the biggest issue, I've seen is too many people actually trying to make their beers hazy. Here in NZ, its not an overly popular way of doing things as yet).

Thursday, 17 March 2016. In my time off I:. Built a TARDIS Kegerator. Brewed lots of Beer. Emptied and re-filled Barrels. So Plenty has happened, I've re-evaluated my priorities, and found that I was spending too much time trying to actually write about brewing and beer, instead of just enjoying the hobby, and so on. So, what I decided to do with this blog is turn it into more of a niche. (I'm struggling to find words to describe how I'll run it. SO, I'm mid post about writing up about getting married.
