I’ve put together an Aussie Bitter using Black rock draught malt, standard muntons draught and the hops that are used for XXXX Bitter
It’s been bubbling away in the fermenter for 4 days and already dropped from 1.040 to 1.013, the sediment has gone crazy with about an inch of dead yeast cells at the bottom and its tasting good already.
I’ll rack it into secondary tomorrow and bottle on Tuesday. Should be ready by November the 3rd. Woot

That’s right folks, you heard it here first…
I was talking to the manager down at the twisted hop the other night to see if he thought there was a market for a brew pub selling ever-changing beer on tap- through experimentation and listening to customers feedback.
It’s still a good idea, imagine heading down to a pub where you’re input is taken into consideration by the brew-master and a new brew is ready to taste on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
This prompted him to tell me one of his genius ideas: Holding a local homebrew competition with the winner having their beer featured on tap for x number of nights.
That’s enough to make any home brew enthusiast bubble with excitement.
It’s still very much in the “thinking” stages but if there are enough people asking about it and getting together to talk about it we could soon get it off the ground, and who knows we might discover the next Tuatara brew-master hidden in our garden city.
My hat goes off him.
