Haven't been checking the forums lately because I've been working part time at the SOGO department store at Yokohama Station recently. And guess what, I was assigned to the alcoholic beverages section :D Just got myself a can of Suiyoubi no Neko (a whitbier by the company that makes Yona yona...

Unfortunately, I live in Yokohama so I can't group buy with you Ogri :( By the way Brendan, I'm planning on buying them crushed since I don't have a grain mill. I plan on ordering the bag next monday. Prices are 4260 yen per 20kg bag for English Ale Malts, crushed.

AFAIK, by fax and bank transfer.

Ok, I'm planning to buy the bag of English Ale Malts from Asahi BM pretty soon. Anyone interested in sharing the bag?

I have made myself a wort chiller! :D about 2500 yen for a 10 metre long copper pipe, although I had to choose a smaller diameter to fit my budget. I also got myself 10 metres of silicon tubing to fit the pipe for about 2000 yen.

I was thinking about getting one of these. http://www.sanplatec.co.jp/product_pages.asp?arg_product_id=SAN2091

I just ordered 10 metres of copper tubing and 10 metres of silicon tubing. Oh gawd what did I do :p

ザーツ is Saaz. But yeah, that's the per kilogram price, so you'll have to multiply that by 20 to get the full price. Yeah, its the Maris-Ottery one, although it could be Golden Promise or any other English ale malt. I'm planning to buy it before the end of the year. Perhaps...

IH pots means they can be used with IH stoves (some pots cannot be used on IH, only electric and gas). All pots can be used with gas.

By the way, I'm thinking about getting a 20kg bag of pre-milled "Ale Malt" by Asahi BM. If anyone is interested in buying half, let me know. I live about 20 mins by car from Yokohama Station.

Cantillon - Gueuze 100% Lambic, although its a pain in the wallet.

This website has stainless steel cooking pots of all sizes for really cheap. http://www.daishin-syouji.co.jp/SHOP/46847/67993/t01/list.html There is a 22 Litre one for 6280 yen, 24 Litre one for 7680, or a 31 Litre one for 6750 yen. The "Han-Zundo" pots are more expensive compared to their...

I just popped down to Costco at Shin-Sugita and found a stainless steel 15 litre pot for less than 3000 yen. Dunno if it is any good, doesn't look as sturdy as the more expensive counterparts but it definitely is a bargain at this price. I'll use it in my next all-grain attempt. The homebrew...

Thank you guys. I used the muslin cloth once but my grains, which come pre-milled by an online supplier, contain a lot of grain powder which clog up the cloth easily. I can't get Whirlfloc where I live (Japan), but I can get some Irish Moss so I will give that a try. I also don't have a...

http://www.komei.or.jp/news/detail/20121110_9593 Looks like the Komei Party received a request to make homebrewing legal. Hope this passes in the parliament. By the way, went down to Bashamichi Taproom for Country Girl Kabocha Ale; wasn't so pumpkin-y as I expected, but rather a hint of...

How do I clear my beer? I'm currently fermenting my second attempt at all-grain. Both my first and second attempts have resulted in cloudy beer. The first attempt tasted fine, in fact, it tasted great, but I want to get it clear enough to appear presentable. I am currently aware of...

I highly suggest using punctuation in the future, it really helps... Also, I'd make 2.5 gallon batches (with a single can of LME) rather than the 5 gallons it recommends. Makes a fuller, better brew and even if you somehow manage to screw things up, there are 20 less pints to deal with.

Thanks Brendan. By the way, I'm going down to Bashamichi Taproom in a few hours to get a pint of the pumpkin ale, if anyone cares to join me :)

Hmm, looks like I should get a proper stir bar instead :) Yeah, I know its spinning too fast, but I can't find a speed controller for the right price at the moment :(
