It’s an uncharacteristically cool and overcast day. This special release #HazyIPA (#KereruRogueWerks) that I am #brewing @kererubrewing is a dream of hot dry days in late February.

I wish I weren’t pulling 6-day weeks, but that’s how it is for now.

A view down through the hatch on our 2500L brewery kettle reveals the bottom of this stainless steel vessel being covered in sweet malty wort. It is a light hazy amber in appearance with some islands of frothy bubbles that are slowly moving about as it fills.

Kereru Brewing Co boosted:

Another brew day @kererubrewing and today is our #KereruMaidstoneLager. This is a #ViennaLager with a nice deep amber #lager.

A nice deep amber colored wort in the grant as it transferred across to our brew kettle.

Kereru Brewing Co boosted:

This has been a week of hard graft. Canning. Endless cans of #beer @kererubrewing and 7am starts since the beginning of the year.

At least it’s cool in early mornings. I’m looking forward to two days off this weekend as Monday is a public holiday.

My 2nd brew day of the year @kererubrewing is #ResonatorIPA - look at that glorious copper-coloured wort. I had some extra #Gladfield #SupernovaMalt and have added a bag for extra colour.

Sweet wort collects in a stainless steel grant (big pot) and is being pumped across your our brew kettle. The liquor has the appearance of a really good pot of tea.

Kereru Brewing Co boosted:

The final brew of 2025 at @kererubrewing is #KereruRoundestBoi #HazyIPA. That’s a very full kettle!

Pale amber wort steams away through the hatch on the top of our brew kettle. Shining stainless steel gleams in the light of summer in New Zealand.

Another @kererubrewing #GlutenFree #beer is done and in tank today. #SomeAssemblyRequired

Each beer has it's own distinct #hop and trub leavings at the bottom of our kettle. A 'fun' #FlashCard game might be to "Name the beer by it's leavings." An unflattering concept, but visually intriguing. I am so very happy that I have not needed to climb into the kettle for a long, long time while it is still hot (it's been 12 years or more).

A curious view. Looking down through the hatchway in our brew kettle you can see a step and my reflection in the small circle down below. You can also see a mound of spent hops in the middle of the floor of the kettle and some interesting flow-forms as the trub and hops are swirled and the hot wort drains away at the 5 o'clock position. The bottom of the kettle is slightly angled and slanted to aid in draining it all away.

You can also see the angled recirculation inlet at the 4:30 position and at the 9 o'clock region is a longer thermowell for measuring the temperature of the kettle contents, and there is a small sensor that closes a circuit to allow the burner to light when the kettle is full enough to do so safely.

A particularly hot and humid day for #brewing @kererubrewing . Today I’m transferring a new batch of our #KereruFlyboy #GF #RiceLager to the fermenter. Temperature on the brew house is well over 35C and sticky.

Racking our #KereruApex GF APA so we can have it for the holidays. Looking nice and bright after 16 days cold conditioning.

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

Shiny stainless steel fills the frame as we peer down into the cylindrical conical interior. As the vessel has aged it has developed subtle warping and distortion of the metal which has become rather interesting looking. There’s a mesh false bottom and some temperature probes visible.

@sumisu3 deal.

My work process has me cleaning as I go. The MLT was grained out and rinsed down 3 hours ago and looks ready to go again. I hope to be full cleaned and packed up in the next hour.

A view down into the Kererū Brewing mash/latter run. It looks very clean.

@stojg @pearofdoom yeah, that’s a 1 barrel (126L grant).

#Brewing #KereruBigPigeon #Pilsner today. Golden, clear wort.

Golden sweet wort collecting in the grant. Shiny stainless steel and reflections of the skylights from our factory setting are visible.
