      Good day all.
      
      So I'm pretty close to getting ready for my brew day, and as part of my prep I was hoping that some folks who are a bit more experienced than myself might be able to give me some insight on this beer I want to brew.
      
      Two things I'm curious about of note...
      
      1) The mash is only for 45min... that seems strange to me.
      2) I won't be kegging this beer, but bottling it. Any advice on what to use as a primer before it goes into the bottle?

      Looks pretty tasty to me.
      
      1)I would disregard the 45min mash and go with a 90min mash.
      2)Corn sugar is the standard priming sugar.
      
      159 F mash temp seems a little high for an IPA (but he did that intentionally to keep the FG a little higher). If it were my beer, I'd drop that down to 152ish to get a little drier finish, just my opinion.

      Hello all,
      
      Looking to source some cubes in NZ and was wondering what locals here use? I'm new in country so not really sure where to look.
      
      Cheers!

      Most Mitre10 stores have stacks of them too, in a couple different shapes so you can choose one to fit your situation.
      Where in NZ are you LM??? You'll have to update your Location in your profile ;)
