Interested in getting some additional thoughts on brewing while traveling.
Background. My job takes me to various countries in Africa periodically where there is not much selection on the beer front. On my last trip I decided I had enough time to brew a small batch.
I used a 3 gallon collapsible camping water container which I pre-sanitized. Added 2lbs wheat dry extract plus about 2.5 gallons bottled water and shook. For hops I boiled .5 oz hallertau in the hot water heater in the room and then added to the container. Added a packet of dry yeast and let ferment.
Bottled using some sugar cubes in plastic water bottles (will use something that can hold up to pressure a little better next time)
Overall fermented really quick and didn't come out too bad.
I'm wondering if anyone else out there has tried something similar. I'm interested to hear what kind of equipment or procedures you used and if anyone has any other ideas for recipes.
