Ni Hao from China!

[beerspitnight]

Just checking in from Beijing China - myself and a buddy of mine are waiting for our HB equipment to arrive (beginning of Fe.) so we can start brewing.
This site is going to be a great resource!

Polluted.

Beijing has the worst smog I've ever seen in my life, and I live in LA.

However it's still cool that we've got people homebrewing there. It's just one of the last places I'd ever want to live.

The last couple of days it has been polluted, but more days than not it is beautiful here! We love living and working over here - and now that we are brewing it is going to be even better!
There isn't much of a scene yet - an American guy that I know opened up a small brewery and we sourced all of our equipment (and will source all of our supplies) through him as well.
I'll be packing all of our visitors from the States with liquid yeast and hops whenever they come to visit as our selection is a bit limited, but we'll make due!
Hoping for the equipment to arrive in the next two weeks or so - then we will be off and brewing!

It's really cool that you guys are getting some homebrewing done over there! Let us know what you come up with!

Hi guys,
I do have a homebrew shop here in Shanghai. I have some grains and hops along with equipment now and a container in Customs as I write this. I have another container coming hopefully before the end of September.

I will be in the Chili Cook-off at Bubbas BBQ at the Expo site in Shanghai on September 15th. I won the Ontario Chili Cook-off when I was on assignment in Toronto and they pushed me to enter, so I'll have lots of beer there to share. Stop by if you can.

The following weekend I have a tent at the Kerry Beer Fest in Pudong near the Pudong Intl. Expo site very close to Century Park. I will also be entering a homebrew contest in Nanjing in October.

In addition to the brew days each month, I brew probably a total of 10 batches a month and have kegs for parties. I use a device (that I also sell) that uses a 16 gram CO2 cartridge like those used for paint ball guns. I am having trouble finding the CO2 cartridges though in Shanghai at the moment. So if you can find them, I'll make it worth your while!

I use Corny kegs and have them for sell while also providing corny kegs for parties.

Anything you guys need, let me know and I'll help you get it. Keep in touch!

By the way, I've been a Premium member here since 2010.
