Moving in Sept to Okinawa, Japan and have been told that ingredients are hard to come by, everything needs to be shipped. My plan is to by a couple extract kits from AHS and have them shipped with my household goods (to start my pipeline asap), except for the dry yeast which will go in my suitcase. I also plan on buying some bulk grain and throwing it in with the house stuff as well. My questions are:
- will un-milled grain be ok for a couple of months in its bag in a non temp controlled environment?
- what grains would you buy as a new all grain brewer who mainly drinks Amber Ales and some IPA's? 50lbs of 2-Row? Maris Otter? What else? Specialy grains will have to be bought and shipped.
- what about hops? Will they last or should I just buy online and have them shipped?
I guess I will be doing a lot of dry yeast brews or saving/ making yeast banks.
Open to suggestions and ideas.
Thanks,
