Homebrewing in Japan
|
|
If anyone else is in Japan, homebrewing or looking to get into homebrewing, I've created a blog in English with a bunch of useful links and information on where and how to buy things in Japan. There are a surprising number of suppliers and resources out there.

Good to see that someone out there is brewing. I thought there was some restriction on homemade stuff in japan having to be less than 1% ABV or something to that effect. I've given this a little thought since I could have to live there (well...oki) sooner or later.

COOL!!
Welcome Brett!!!
You may not have noticed, but if you scroll down to the bottom of this page there's a section called "Similar threads"...There's e by people in Japan.. you may wanna see who else is over there and private message them with the link to your blog..
Also I noticed you are using a corona style mill....
I've got a thread with some tips for using them...like motorizing them and stuff, you might find interesting.

I've been using these Sorachi Ace hops lately. I can't find too much info over here on them. They're the only Asian hop that I know of. Do you know of this type?

My apartment in Okinawa was actually bigger than the house I'm living in here in the US. I miss that apartment.

I always loved sushi, but I just couldn't find a decent Japanese beer when I was there. If you think BMC is watery, try some Kirin, Sapporo, or Orion.

Green Tea is mine. The only time I would drink Japanese beer is at a bar downtown or if the shops on base were closed, and I had to head off base for beer.
To each his own though. If you like it, you don't have to worry about me buying out the stores. 
Oh, I did like Kirin Green Label. That stuff was decent, low cal, and low carb. I don't think you can get that in the US though.
