That is for commercial beer brewing – not home brew. There are many companies in Thailand selling beer making equipment and ingredients (Malt, Yeast, Hops) Now at last it looks as though small commercial breweries will be able to sell beer commercially 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted November 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) that is just a ministerial order. It can be changed anytime in the future, at will. That is the governmental move to block proper legislation, which is going to be voted today at Parliament. So it's just Prayuth's nasty political game. "The Government passed a ministerial order on Tuesday allowing people to produce their own alcoholic beverage for local consumption only and without branding. The order came into effect Wednesday. In a related development, Pita Limjaroenrat, leader of opposition Move Forward Party posted on Facebook the move, one day ahead of the parliament voting on progressive alcohol bill proposed by the party, which is much more comprehensive and will enable local people to sell their beverage, is tantamount to an attempt to block the bill and protect big alcohol business oligarchs. Pita asked why the Prayut regime waited eight years before passing the order." https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid0b5CWcGzPHwodAp9RzzXGCFvWozgyEDYZYgWzCNSELuYF5fSrqGcjug9kwWAsRKz1l Edited November 2, 2022 by internationalism 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrySeaman Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Do they really think all the Thai farmers who have always made sato (Thai sticky rice wine) or distill fermented rice to make lao khao or "medicinal" whisky will actually register? I have never seen any evidence that the government cares about that unless some idiot doesn't know how to separate the methanol (BP 64.7) and ethanol (BP 78.4) alcohols when distilling his lao khao. Just invest in some brewer's yeast for your Sato – Thai Rice Wine or your fermented rice and you eliminate all but traces methanol (you will always get some when you ferment anything). If you have a moonshine still with a thermometer to tell you at what temperature the distillate is condensing at you can easily make sure the distillate you collect for drinking is ethanol, not methanol. Here is a fancy moonshine still from Amazon, Premium Copper Moonshine & whiskey Alembic Still 3 L w/thermometer aprox 1Gallon. Personally, when I finally move to my wife's farm to live home made sato is going to be on my menu. You can buy bottles of filtered and sterilized sato at places like 7-11 but it the taste is horrible, unlike the taste of fresh sato.

still kicking Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 8 hours ago, JoePai said: Yes Can you make home brew in Thailand? The 1950 Liquor Act states beer can only be made in a factory or brewpub. A 2000 Finance Ministry regulation says for producers to gain legal status, they must make more than 100,000 liters per year and be a limited company with capital of at least 10 million baht.
