Mr. Beer is how many start. You can get a drinkable beer but once you go into extract kits you will make very good beer that others will beg for from you. MoreBeer is the best place for getting things shipped here. They are priced well and quick. As for your Lager, if you are down south then...

Most nurseries in Japan have juniper, several kinds usually. You might find spruce too.

I just powered through and kept brewing with some kits. Doing my first all grain today though.

Cool thanks. I might have to give this a try.

Because there is no larger prong there is no right or wrong. Meaning you could turn the plug either way and it will work. What you are doing is completing a circuit. So as long as you stay consistent with the hot and non-hot you will be fine. It won't damage the system at all. Just think that...

Yeah it took about three weeks when I ordered mine. Pretty easy build though. The hardest part was the box.

Great job and thanks for the pics. I am getting ready to make one as well. So doing research now.

Let me know where you find a good chest freezer. I am looking to get one maybe next month.

Nice. Would love to have that and the space. One day I will just have a room as a brew house.

I want to do this but don't have the cash right this moment for it. I found a great small freezer for 19000 yen. That is what I would like. Haven't seen any small refrigerators that would hold a Carboy well and still be small. Space is a factor as we all know.

Did that last night. I also put a insulating foam plastic sheet on top of the water to help retain the cool. Seems to work well.

Toranomon. Too bad it is a great craft beer place.

Next time you or anyone else is near Craft Beer Market let me know. My office is a 15 minute walk from there.

That is a nice setup. He doesn't show the build though. Would love to know all the parts and build.

I made a temp controller from the STC-1000 works great! Very easy to make. The hardest thing was making a box to house it in. There are some great tutorials here on the forum. The only downside was it took ages for it to get here from China, customs was holding it up. The controller cost me...

If I got a Corny keg from the US. One of my buddies in the military has one. Would I be able to use a tap system from here in Japan? Or is there some size difference like metric to imperial?

Thanks for all the input. Will do some more research on it. Hope to have something working by June.

But us either refillable for homebrew?

Is this 10L keg from the liquor store refillable? I want to get a smaller keg for my beer but have never legged yet. What about this keg? Also how hard is it to use these if they are refillable for homebrew? Do I need special tools? Thanks for any help.

Anyone know how to build one? I am curious to get something for taking to visit friends.
