I am a newbie brewer from India! So far I have made one gallon batch of red, one gallon skeeterpee, I have a rice wine and a sapodilla mead brewing right now. My cache of yeast is just plain old bread yeast and rice balls. The red wine turned out to be ok for my taste, the skeeterpee is too tart. The mead and the rice wine is brewing nicely.
I don't know about other Indian brewers, I find that it's impossible to get brewing equipment and ingredients here in India. I am desperately looking for a collection of brewers yeasts and wine bottles and corks and a corking machine. I tried ebay global easy buy, amazon and all but they won't ship even a bottle capper to my address. Must be some weird Indian govt rule prohibiting import of brewing equipment etc. So what do you think? Should I just be content with bread yeast or try to culture wild strains? And drink my brew young?
What do you suggest?
