BIAB#8 NZ Pale Ale

Post #1 made 10 years ago
Brewed this last Sunday for my Christmas beer (not very traditional I know). Fancied trying my hand at making a NZ pale ale…

The brew went very smoothly and with the clocks going back, meant I was up early and finished by 12 o’clock. My first foray into water treatment and my mash PH was exactly where it should be. It’ll be interesting to see if this makes any difference to the beer. I’ve also got a brew fridge setup so excited to be able to control the fermenting schedule.

Going to dry hop for 3 days in primary then crash cool for 2 days. How does anyone else do this?

That sounds dam tastey. Maybe you should try some Gladfeild malt next time. That is really clear wort too.
