Cool (non pun intended) thanks for the tips. Btw Japanese descendant living in Europe and just started bru'ing myself a few months back. I'm occasionally in Osaka (mostly in Minami) but will give you a shout when I am. Definitely will check garage out. And Yellow Ape - that's the one serving...

Awesome.. didn't know about garage39 until now. Thanks :) Are there any decent homebrew supply stores in Osaka? And how do you keep the fermentation temp down during the hot summer months if you don't mind me asking?
