HOME BREWING

I have been making beers & wines as one of my hobbies for about 20yrs, [ i am not an expert] i retired in Thailand 4yrs ago and decided to start home brewing again. I do not go to bars now [was a party animal in my younger days] and live a peaceful relaxing life in the north with my Thai family. I still like making and drinking homemade beers & wines for many reasons. Making beer is cheap.it's easy to make,ready in appx 3 three weeks, you can keep a good supply in your fridge, with a little practice you can develop your own characteristics, if you have a lot of spare time like me it's a rewarding hobby. There are many on this site who already know about making homemade beers & wines , this is primarily for those who would like to have a go but are not sure how to go about it, it is really simple to do and saves a lot of money compared to store beers,your own made beers could work out around 20-25 bht a bottle depending on the cost of your beer kit itself. I tend to buy the cheaper kits appx $17-25 they are just as good as the expensive one's'

I have drawn up a simple information sheet that has what basic equipment you will need to buy, where to buy it, best type of beer kits to start with, some tips and links to You Tube and my suppliers in Europe, China and Thailand. If anyone wants a copy just P.M me .

1 other point is that buying beer or wine kits and equipment from Thailand will nearly always involve slightly higher costs,but search online and you can find very cheap prices don't buy the first one you see ,shop around find the cheapest,look for free shipping offers, there are cheaper out there just search for them.

As for wine making,that's a little more involved and will talk about that later

Have a good day.

Now that I am retiring in Thailand after being in Southern California, do I just give up the quest to locate any decent wines to enjoy?

Any Thai wineries I need to check out?

Very dark white wine

I bought 2 x 1.4 litres of S Blanc concentrate from Jamago last week, mixed it up with 6 litres of clean water and Lanvin 1118 yeast, SG 1080= 10% ABV.

The concentrate looked pretty dark for white wine, and still is after 5 days. I emailed Jamago who said that it is normal for white wines to be dark?????

Said I need bentonite, and then filtration. Never needed it before.

Any suggestions please from you expert winos.
