Hi everyone,
I've been lurking on these forums for a while now and thought it was time to post an introduction.
I'm British, homebrewing in Tokyo, Japan. I started less than three months ago with a shop bought kit and have since:
- moved onto partial mash and all grain
- bought a kegerator
- carried kegs in my suitcase from Korea to Japan
- made beer at one of the big craft breweries in Japan
- built a fermentation chamber
- made 18 beers! (well technically the last two are still fermenting)
I'm blogging almost daily about my experiences brewing in Japan, getting equipment, meeting other homebrewers, recipes and experiments, and trying commercial beers here. My blog includes a step by step guide to making an extract beer and a detailed guide on cultivating yeast from commercial beers and previous fermentations.
I just want to say a special Thank You to everyone on this board who replied to my newbie questions in the first months since starting. Homebrewing in Japan can be hard work, especially when you're learning from zero and don't speak the language here!
Anyone brewing in Japan or visiting Tokyo, feel free to get in touch direct!
