The original homebrewer™.

i no longer live in north america, but a wealthy country in asia where even half decent beer is a luxury and difficult to find. needless to say homebrewing is beyond a challenge due to the need to get all ingredients shipped either from north america or from the approximately 4 online homebrewing shops. only one is worth using and even they are pricey and understocked... i made the effort to brew as much as i could last year but the uncontrollable summer heat created my first undrinkable batches of beer ive ever made. i took homebrewing and buying good beer for granted... though ive moved on, it really is an important cultural thing. theres nothing that can compare to enjoying a really quality beer on an afternoon or evening and relaxing.
i lost all of my improvised and i mean really improvised brewing equipment from last year due to someone else's stupidity, so have to start almost all over again. but man, i need to brew and im going to give it one more shot while i have about 3 or 4 months of acceptable temperature to brew... wish me luck, and enjoy your tasty, tasty brews
