Hey everybody,
My name's Jeff I'm finishing up my last 7 months of my Peace Corps service in Ukraine. I've been drinking horrible beer for the last year and a half and want to try making a bit of my own. I made a few brews from ingredients I got at a brewers store before I left but haven't done it from scratch yet.
I've got a bag of hops flowers and a few pounds of raw barley but I'm not exactly sure what I've got or how I could best use it. I've been looking for brewers yeast for months but haven't been able to find any. I've got some coming through the mail from the US but am wondering if I should try a batch with bread yeast, I've read a bit about this.
Any advice on rudimentary methods for malting the barley / using raw hops flowers or DIY air locks?
Any help would be appreciated, anybody in former USSR or Ukraine???
Glad to be here,
jeff
