I lived in central Tokyo for a few years and brewed there. I only did extract but never had any trouble getting supplies. The water is fine with the exception that there is usually a lot of chlorine in it. Campden tablets were a necessity.

Great looking beers, I love it!

Homebrew American lager.

12 Beers of Xmas Caramel Quad from @4_Sons_Brewing. Thanks, it's delicious!

I had my last quad from @4_Sons_Brewing a week ago or so. If anything it's better than I remember. I'd probably participate again but not organize.

It all looks like yeast to me. I am curious why it's only on that thin section of the coil. Was it not all in contact with the beer?

Cellarmaker Dank and Infused. Super nice west coast pils.

2024 Pliny for President. More tropical, less dank than PtE

I brewed a double ipa today. Columbus, Chinook, Centennial. Pitched wlp002 and it’s starting to bubble 6 hours later.

Made a starter with wlp002. Some to save and some for a double ipa this weekend.

The folks at my local store are great- always helpful and responsive. They also offer an aha discount so I take that and then tip the same amount.

Nice looking beer! You can definitely dry hop a kit.

Homebrew extract light lager. Darn refreshing.

Ruination 1.0. For my money, still the best double ipa out there.

A “pretend it’s 1999” hb pale ale. It could be better. Fresh us-05 is never as good as a repitch.
