:) Nice! Merry Christmas! Looking forward to 3 days off at the beginning of January so I can brew too. My last brew was on the 3rd of December and it feels like forever since I did anything!

I am trying to use Google Drive to synch files between 2 laptops and an android tablet. I don't just want to copy recipes, but inventory, equipment profile, and calendar. This is what I did to try to get this to work: I already had my copy of BS running for months with the google drive...

Ah, happens to be in the works, staying in Japan long term its the simplest way to ensure I have a visa. Neither of us cares much for the institution of it though. Monday night did I meet any Tokyo/Yokohama peeps from HBT out in Yokohama? Organized by Chuwy, it was a pub crawl through...

Not married at all, 6 years of dating her :) I know I got to take one thing at a time, this years plan is a cooling unit of some kind 3 types of hops and a propane burner outside. Her obsessions take space too, right now we have a dozen bottle gourd lamps in the next room and she has a...

Wow, i have never had an ebay account but for 15 USD free int shipping i can afford that temp controller, and maybe pick up the refractometer i was eyeing. I wish I had space for 2 freezers though! Ill be lucky if swmbo lets me buy one and keep it outside:)

Guess I'll sleep on it see how I feel in the morning. I started getting a bit concerned about my beers freezing in the crawlspace under the house, pulled them out this afternoon. I forgot I had so many down there, summer beers cleaned up their flavors significantly:)

I don't know, I sent Chuwy a message to see if he knows. A few of the people I met last time are busy and wont be there. Even then, with an event on Monday for me I can't let myself get too messy. I am thinking maybe I will pass this one up and we could try to get a small meetup together from...

Quick question for everyone; is anyone going to the Advanced Brewing customers homebrewer meeting tomorrow? I am currently trying to decide if I should go due to the ticket price; a pub session in Yokohama I will be going to soon will be pretty steep.

If you were putting it in as part of the main ingredients and not the priming sugar then I can't think of a problem, it sounds just like liquid malt extract except with some rice. Hows the flavor? Hows the price compared to liquid malt extract? See how your attenuation goes and decide if you...

Haha I dont check in for a day or two and its nice to come back to a few new faces on this thread! Welcome Ogri and srgwuggles! WhoZit created a Japan group here:https://www.homebrewtalk.com/groups/japan/ (just reposting so you dont need to go back in this thread to find the link) Surume...

Im still interested. I had only picked up specialty malts from AB and am almost out of base malt. Also, I am just plain curious how ordering from them will go.

Oh nice! Its funny, Im from Canada and im not used to the cold INSIDE although its still tshirt weather outside. The temperature controller is what I want, something I can use with a cooler in the summer and a heat pad in the winter. Any ideas where they can be found and price ranges...

Thats exactly what I did, I made a 2L starter for the Lager this week. I added the rest to the Pilsner kit for the extra fermentables instead of sugar. It says it was "light extract" so I hope that doesn't change the pilsner flavor too much. I have a bit left over that I put in canning jars...

Hi JiBiru8 that was me alright:fro:! This time I will have an all-grain to bring to the party.. er.. meeting. I have a weak IPA (my goal was a beer that SWMBO could partake) and a smoked Porter that are both conditioning. The house is so cold right now that I will be lucky if the porter is...

Just mentioning in the thread here so I dont forget later: I will send a cutting each of the Magnum and Centennial rhizomes I have to Okinawa in the spring. Theres a fairly big group down there so after a season I am sure they will have split off more and we (homebrewers in japan) will have a...

Just got a reply. Its yes and 30 USD for the fee, 15 rhizome minimum order though so that makes the group buy sound good. Also they say check back in March so I guess we dont need to rush. Cheers!

Thanks for the lead Brad! I just sent them a message asking if they can confirm the ability to ship here. If they say yes I think anyone interested needs to hurry and get orders in, I have read elsewhere that you need to order rhizomes well in advance, early spring is when distributors ship...

The only sources I know of inside the country are person to person trading, and even then it seems pretty slim as this thread has got little discussion so far on domestic rhizomes. As stated in earlier posts if you are trying to send from overseas somewhere then the best bet would be to call up...

Just got my Munton's tanks and other stuff from AB, it was only shipped yesterday afternoon so that was quick! I took some photos for anyone who wants to see. (click) These are exactly what I wanted, its stronger plastic and compresses less than the fermenters I currently use. Volume marks on...

If you move one of the muntons tanks while fermenting, does it depressurize and suck air back through the airlock? (are the sides rigid enough to hold their shape well?) I have that problem with the "BUB" water tanks I am using now; the sides are too flexible. I use about 50cm of tubing into a...
