Notes

This is “free beer” – all came from the national home brew conference in Nelson, apart from 5 Kg Galdfields pilsner malt.

The yeast was a give-away, the hops came from NZ hoplands, and the weyermann sampler pack won on the night at the beer comp.

Two packets found on the floor unused- Caraaroma, Cafafa Special
