#kererubrewing — Public Fediverse posts

The maw of my cauldron is redolent of ripe oranges, stone fruits and malt. In a few weeks this will become #KereruBrewing #BirdHausHazyIPA.

I have a bold #biotransform hop addition that I hope ends up as I am imagining…

Looks like a #RocketMotor #CombustionChamber but is actually part of our #brewery infusion vessel for making #KereruBrewing #ForGreatJustice and #ImperialNibs #Porters.

New Beer!
Beast In Show Scotch Ale is a traditional strong ale, smooth, brown, and bready with a very low bitterness. It’s malt-focused, or even malt-obsessed, with rich toffee & caramel notes and a dry finish.

New Beer!
Kereru Exercising Demons is an amber ale, lightly hopped for notes of citrus and pineapple, and made with smoked malt for a light creamy smokey tang.

Today I brewed our #GlutenFree #KereruBrewing #Apex #APA - here's a slow motion video of #sorghum dripping into the hot wort. You can see a bag of millet which has been used for colour and flavour.

New Beer!
Kereru Double Ducker Hoppy Amber Ale. Step aboard the Double Ducker! Settle into your seat and notice an aroma of orange blossoms and pine forest. There’s peach, orange marmalade & pine resin on the palate and a firm bitterness and well sprung malty backbone. Buckle up!

Day 39 done. Delivered beer. Prepping tanks for infusing cacao into imperial porter to make our Imperial Nibs.

I did not sleep well last night and am completely exhausted. I am hoping to take this coming Sunday off.

The penultimate #KereruBrewing #BeerAdventCalendar #Beer is being canned right now.

10% of #ImperialStout packed with #raspberry, #cacao, and #coffee - it is strong, dark and delicious! Best served at 10-14C.

34 days continuous brewery activities.

The last of the #KereruBrewing #BeerAdventCalendar #beer batches have been flavoured and are cooling down for packaging this coming week.

With the exception of our fence at home having blown over last week in a wind storm I am angling to try and get some rest tomorrow.

Maybe I will also spend a little time making some music in #BitwigStudio on #LinuxMint

I am struggling to find #spoons and am very relieved that past me made an extra #pizza yesterday so that tonight's meal planning is already done.

Nearly there with our #KereruBrewing #BeerAdventCalendar production.

33 Days of unbroken working. 19 of those days being on my own while my lead brewer is off work with an (non-work related) injury which will likely see him away for another 2 months.

The final base beer (a 10% Imperial Stout that is infused with lots of cacao nibs) is in the brite beer tank and awaiting being divided across two tanks tomorrow.

One will be additionally flavoured with orange essence to become #NavelGazer Chocolate Orange Imperial Stout and the other will receive raspberry and coffee to become #BlackRuby Raspberry, Chocolate and Coffee Imperial Stout.

I’m angling to take Sunday off. Fingers crossed. I’m quite tired.

But first, it’s time to make #FungiFriday #Pizza

#BreweryLife #FamilyOwnedBusiness

32 days on without a break and the fatigue is catching up. I am taking a nap at work on my camping mat while a tank washes.

This is the way it has been every October for the past 9 years. The holiday retail scene as a small brewery is leaving much to be desired.

I’m sure I’ll feel better about things after next week when all the Advent Calendar beers will be packaged.

Jesse gazes down into the mash lauter tun as 900kg of malt is gently steaming and mixing. This year's Get Quacken Triple IPA is set to be a huge, hoppy beast of a beer with ALL the hops in it. The colour is looking amazing. #KereruBrewing #KereruGetQuacken #TripleIPA #Beer #NewZealand #CraftBeer

I’m packaging our latest #beer : #KereruBrewing Just Caws #Raspberry #Stout - 6.5% Alc/Vol and hits with sweet raspberry at the front, roasted dark #malt in the middle and tart fruits on the finish.

New beer! #KereruBrewing Fine Quail-itties California Common Beer. Bready, nice balance of bitter and malt sweetness with citrus hop aroma.

I’m sitting on a forklift, in the sun, waiting for paperwork so that I can unload a shipping container. #Brewer #BeverageManufacture #KereruBrewing

#KereruBrewing Co Lead Brewer, Jesse, tells us a bit about his latest #WestCoastIPA that he's brewed for release in March of 2024. Available online and from better bottle stores and grocers in #NewZealand.
