Homebrewing in Rwanda

[lee8671]

Hi,

I recently came to Rwanda as a part of South Korea's official development aid programme, and will be working as a science teacher for two years.

Now, I've brewed few times while I was back in the states or in Korea, but now that I'm in a new continent and have more free time than I expected, I want to take the homebrewing to a more serious level.

The problem is though I don't know where to get the supplies from. There is a brewing facility here that brews commercial beers - some of which are actually not too bad - I don't know if I can purchase any ingredients from them.

Does anyone know of a good homebrewing supply website that will ship to Rwanda? - preferrably at a low cost as well. I'm here as a volunteer and with a tight budget, so if it's too expensive to homebrew here I don't know what I can do.

Also, I know this is highly unlikely, does anyone here homebrew in Rwanda? If so, can you please recommend me a place where I can buy the ingredients?

Thank you in advance

John Lee

Have you looked into suppliers in South Africa that would ship to Rwanda? That is the best thing I can think of.

Whilst not ideal, if you can't find malted barley it's possible to malt your own. I did that in S Korea when malted was cost prohibited. Now it's the wild-wild west of homebrewing. You left just when it's starting to get good!

Welcome aboard. If you can't get beer ingredients, I'm sure you could find some juice of some sorts. Buckets should be everywhere.

I stuffed a few batches of ingredients in my shipment when I moved to the middle east.
