Who's brewing
Owen Paterson
Experienced homebrewer based in Auckland, brewing on the Grainfather G30 since 2020. Known for a well-evolved Red IPA recipe that has run across ten generations, and a methodical approach to water chemistry and malt selection. Not all of Owen's brews are recorded here — the stats and totals on this page reflect only the batches that have been added to the site.
Matt Paterson
Intermediate-level homebrewer based in Wellington, brewing since late 2022. Gravitates toward hoppy ales, West Coast IPAs, and Belgian styles. Brews on a BrewZilla 65L with pressure fermentation capability and an eye for NZ and American hop varieties.
Robin Aitken
Wellington homebrewer getting started on his own all-grain setup, with earlier experience from a 40L all-grain brewing class — the same starting point as Owen and Matt. Brews on a 35L BrewZilla Gen 4, ferments in a bucket with no temperature control yet (managed by relocating the fermenter), and bottle conditions in flip-top bottles. Not all of Robin's brews are recorded here — the stats and totals on this page reflect only the batches added to the site.
