Gday fellow japanese amatuer brewers.
I have only just joined this forum and after a week of browsing i decided to search for any info on japan
LOW and BEHOLD!!!
there are other highly motivated brewers in japan
this is great news
I have probably met a few of you briefly at the Advanced brewing meetings I have only been to 2 meetings as i work in australia and live in japan
I also went to the winter bash which was awesome
I will be back in japan after the 1st of april for 5 weeks
I have been building a single tier 3 vessel system for a while and using it as a gravity system until i can get my pumps set up
the information you have all contributed is awesome so far
I did find an interesting article on modifying a co2 regulator imported from
the US to match the japanese bottle
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/japan-standard-tank-us-standard-regulator-338713/index2.html
this is an easy fix if you cant find a reg in japan
I have built one of the stc-1000 temp controllers so if anyone has any issues with these let me know and i will be sure to help
I also built a stir plate and got most of the gear from tokyu hands
they do sell potentiometers in the model electrics section it cost a coupla bux
It would be great to meet some new people who are interested in brewing and learn some new tricks maybe do some brew days together
I dont really have the space issues at my house that a lot of Japanese brewers must have but i still try to keep my system pretty compact
I have not been able to find the link to the asahi malt supplier
if someone could share that with me that would be great
I have been getting my malts from AB and sakeland but the price for the asahi malt looks to be very good and i will just keep getting my specialty malts from AB or sakeland
the link to labware is awesome so i will be going to Kanda for a look asap
do they have 5 ltr erlynmyers?
maybe this would be a good time to line up and get together for a beer
fellas i also have a malt mill if you need some of your grain to be milled
i live in kanagawa area odakyu line
to be honest the malt mill was one of my first purchases as i cant just brew spontaneously with my job there is a fair bit of planning with my roster
I can really only brew in the first or second week so the brew is ready to bottle in the last week before i have to commute to work
another reason why i am going to kegs in the near future
great thread guys and one i believe is long over due
