Your language skills are much better than mine.
Perhaps you could check http://www.bia-bg.com/bia/branch/brewers.htm
If homebrewing is legal in Bulgaria, perhaps they can help.

-a.

in bulgaria everything is legal i am makeing wine and brandy... i will check this web right now

Not sure why you would want to make malt extract instead of just mashing and doing it the old fashion (fun) way.

So I will assume you mean that you can get barley, but need to malt it and kiln/roast your own specialty grains.

becouse i didn't know nothing about the old fashion way...
thanks a lot.

Doing a mash is the first step in making malt extract, so skip the spray dehydration and just boil the nice all-grain wort.

As to yeast....If you don't have access to brewers yeast, you can use bread yeast to a lesser extent...but if you can find bottled beers that aren't filtered you can harvest the yeast from the bottles....

Here's some info on that...http://***********/departments/1361.html

thank you people .. friday i am going to start making my first malt!

Good luck to you! It may actually be fantastic beer, because I assume that your ingredients will be fresher than what most of us can get.

I am sure that a packet of dry yeast could make it through customs in , say... a birthday card. I would probably be willing to help a fellow brewer out with some if you can't get any. For God's sake don't use bread yeast!!!

hah thaks for the advice. now i am thinking obout the yeast. in my country we are useing wild yeast for making wine and home made brandy... but i am not sure is it going to work with the beer. i am wondering is there such unfiltered beer, there was such 2 or 3 years ago but now i am not sure.. how ever i will find tha way thanks to all of you.... hey this will be good present for my "birthday" i will have yeast to the end of my life.but first i will try it by the harder way. the beer will be more tasty

One of the major producers of dry brewing yeast is Fermentis a business unit of the Lesaffre Group, so I'd expect you'd be able to find the products in Europe.

in Europe... yep. in bulgaria yeast,malt and hops are selling only for industrial producing. i cant walk into a shop and buy yeast or malt
to everyone

Hey just say the word and im sure we could get you some yeast- few packets could go a long way. Good luck!

thanks a lot but first i will test my theory obout the wild yeast if it fale i will ask some of you to send me

you might be interested in this thread about home malting your own grain...

There's some videos and some great links...

Hi again people.
I made my first malt. Now it's dry and smells good. I am proud of me .
I tried to grow wild yeast, but with no success. I am not sure about the reasons. I am makeing brandy and when i smash the apricots and when i put the sugar with water after few days i can see foam. But now i cant se foam in my jar.
So i will be very grateful if someone send me 1 packet of yeast,if its not expensive . Thanks!! and

All the posts in this thread were the only posts he made on here, so it's doubtful he is still on here. BUT if you private message him, there is a SLIM, but still a chance that he had his setting such that he would get an email notification on whatever email he used to sign up for this alertig him that you private messaged him.

I think it's worth a try...

Ah well, i tried...
