Military brewers?

Former Navy - out in 2006 CTI

Wasn't brewing then and don't remember it ever being discussed. I do know of a friend in the Air Force who's into brewing heavily AG and kegging...

Don't believe he lives on base though.

14 year 1st Class Sonar Technician Submarines, stationed at Naval Submarine School in Groton, CT.

Yep, I've been proudly serving in the USAF and proudly brewing since the early 90s.

Just PCS'd to Spain and I'm trying to figure out how to get ingredients here without paying through the nose to have them shipped from the US. Anyone have any experience with that in Spain or elsewhere in Europe?

Thanks,
Radome

Well you probably will have an APO address so shipping won't kill you. I would consider sticking with DME whenever you can in order to save even more on shipping. Most of the online retailers will work with you on using flat rate packaging.

I order from Midwest supplies to a German apo and shipping isn't bad at all. Just ordered 2 kits and only paid 11 in shipping

For my overseas comrades... I was in Germany for a while. We had some german nationals wokring with us and I spoke to them about it, and they turned me onto some shops, and even local breweries that might sell me something (i never did go there). So talk to the locals and see what they know/can find out.

Need some help. Anyone been in Germany and know where I can get my co2 filled???

Never in the service but I will Hoist one for all the Veterans .....Thanks to all you men and women that have served past and present
