Dear fellow brewers,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of BrewChatter after 10 wonderful years of serving our fellow brewers and community. Due to various unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to shut down operations ending March 31st.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support, loyalty, and friendship throughout the years. We would not have been able to achieve such success without you, and we are truly grateful for the opportunities you have given us.

During the next couple weeks, we will be wrapping up any outstanding projects, having a massive liquidation sale and fulfilling any pending orders. We will do everything we can to minimize any inconvenience caused. Thank you again for your understanding and support during this difficult time.

Sincerely, Josh & RJ

 Description:

In the style of the Classic New Zealand Lager, this easy drinking lager is very similar to a pilsner with less bitter and an easy drinking, American lager type character.  This beer showcases a very light New Zealand or Australian hop character with a mild bitter and a subtle whirlpool addition.  We use Motueka in ours because we love the balanced flavor and character of light lime and pine needles, but this base recipe can be adapted to Galaxy or Nelson Sauvin with slightly different but delicious results.  Simplicity is key, and this embodies the brilliance of easy drinking, New Zealand style beers.

If you can't ferment at lager temperatures, consider using WLP 1983, Wyeast 2112, Imperial Cablecar, or Omega Lutra to give you all of the lager quality without the wait of a more traditional German Lager strain.
