Not far from moving into my new house and getting all my fridges set-up. Hoping to have the following:
Blonde
APA
Pilsner (can't wait for my favourite beer to come back into production. It's been two years without one. Fermentation fridge will be up and running soon and the Pilsner will be four weeks later into a keg)
Rotating keg: English Ale or Amber and occasionally with a Stout, Belgian Ale, or others
I'm thirsty, might have an APA now to wash down lunch ...

Most people are probably going to say boring, but I have coopers pale ale clone always on one keg
It's not boring, it's the godfather of home brewing, a good aussie ale. :beerbang:

APA - always have some in the keg before brewing anything else. Proportions change, but generally there is always some citra and cascade in the mix, often galaxy and/or Nelson Sauvin.
Perle Malt is the base malt for it, because it's smooth & malty, but not too OTT.
Thinking of bittering the next one with Stella, but whacking Citra & Galaxy at 10m, and dry hopping with cascade.
After the last keg was dry hopped with 50g combo of citra/cascade. Yum!

Typically my house beer is a pretty simple pale ale.
90/10 Base malt/Munich 1
Nelson Sauvin to around 35 IBU's with fairly equal additions at 30, 15, and flameout.
Mashed at 66, US05 at 18 for 12 days, conditioned for a week at 2deg. Yummy. Often dry hopped too.
My house beer is probably about to change slightly though. Same grain bill, but have started really getting into B Saaz in a big way.

Try the Bridge rd Stella IPA before you bitter something with Stella. Can be pretty harsh as a bittering hop.

:excl: I really enjoyed that beer.

I think it's Bridge Roads - their Galaxy based IPA was puckeringly bitter and not in a nice way. Like microwaving a tea that's been soaking all day.
Whereas, galaxy as a bittering hop is good, if used appropriately. Great as a flavour hop.
It's the same thing as I say to anyone using Nelson Sauvin - it needs to be used right. It isn't saaz, where you can bombard a beer with it and it's forgiving.
It can be very unforgiving and also be very fantastic. It's a juggling act.

Tony's Bright Ale Clone is keeping me happy right now on the house beer.
Scored myself some fresh Moteuka direct from Auckland on a recent trip. Stopped by Brewer's Co-op not far from Auckland Airport.
Sweated it coming through customs in Melbourne but they were fine as they were pellets. If I'd tried bringing flowers in I would have been in strife.
Tony's recipe on Recipe DB is a ripper for those who haven't tried - even better with the freshest kiwi hops you can source :icon_drool2:
Hopper.
P.S: Linky to Brewers Co-op in kiwiland for anyone planning a trip. Brewers Co-op Linky Dink No affiliation yada yada.

Haven't been all-graining too long and have spent most of the time tweaking DrSmurto's GA to my own taste with about 1/3 Cascade 2/3 Amarillo - such an awesome beer, never misses the spot. Amarillo :icon_drool2:
