Silver week is the name Japanese people give to the five day weekend in September

I will be in the area during the silver week for a day or two. Might check it out.

I got a reply from him, and he updated the liquid yeast page showing which ones he still has in stock at the bottom. I have only made 2-3 orders with them up until now, and yes, they are slow processing their orders, but I haven't had any problems though. Would be nice if we had a store like...

I mailed with AB last week, and they told me they will be getting new stock by the end of October. He was also gonna give me an updated list of what they have in stock last weekend, but no word on that.

I am still pretty new to homebrewing, but it seems that they only sell just a few hop varieties. Would be cool to be able to order more different kinds of hops and nut have to pay so much for shipping.

Hey tektonjp, thank for the idea, but I noticed that all laundry bags in daiso are up to max. 80 degrees C. So I suppose you won't be able to use these during the boil. I use them for BIAB, but I am afraid for using them in the boil. Fastforwardx2, Thank you for the reply. But I found...

Hello, I have been looking for those paint strainer bags here in Japan, but so far have not been successful. Has anyone found them here in Japan? I have looked around a few home centers so far and tried searching Rakuten. I am trying to build one of those hop spiders for hop additions during...

never mind the above post, I just got it off with some descent pliers and a good grip. Just gotta find the right nut.

I am actually running into the same problem.　I found this thread, but how do you replace the nut on the regulator? I do not see how I will possibly be able to replace the nut. I have been try to turn the stem with a wrench with all my force, but it just seems to be damaging the the stem...

Hi all, I had some free time at work today and found another wholesaler for malt: http://www.kanbaku.co.jp/ I did not see that name around here, so I was wondering if anyone had experience with them. They seem pretty friendly after I mailed them for a price list. A bit more expensive than...

Thanks! I am doing BIAB, so might need to find a way to filter it out as well. I was thinking of putting a hop bag at the end of my siphon, would that work? Best, Wim

Hi 12oz, I am also new to homebrewing and lagering, but I tried my first lager 2 weeks ago. It never showed much activity and the krausen was hardly visible, but after two weeks the SG dropped to 1.020, so there has been activity (just not visible). You should maybe check your gravity in a few...

tektonjp, Thank you very much for the advice. I will try using the US-05 ale yeast. Best, Wim

Thanks for the feedback! The yeast is about to expire, so I think I might try a lager first. I will leave out the wheat LME and get 3kg-ish of pilsner malt instead. I will use the wheat LME next time to make some wheat beer. A quick question about wheat beer: is it okay to use standard dry ale...

Thanks for the feedback! I am trying to order some malt of Asahi Malts, but does anyone have any idea how long it takes before they contact you after sending a fax? It looks like it is going to take a little bit to get the ingredients for trying a Smash, so I will wait with it for my 3rd...
