cooked Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hops will grow but they won't flower here as they need longer daylight/ nights (I forget which) than they can get here. You will have to buy.

kickstart Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 All the Thai brewer`s use all imported ingrediedts barley, hops ,ect I feed the waste grains, or brewer`s grains to my cattle ,it is exactly the some as I use to feed in the UK Am I right or wrong can you make beer without hops?,allso finding barley for brewing woud be diffulcult as beer needs completley different varietys than you can get here. As has been said buy a kit. Yours Regs KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hops came into the equation relatively late; without hops it was called ale and was generally brewed in winter, it doesn't keep long. Hops (along with nettles and hemp) help keep the beer longer in storage. I am still wondering how to get brewing started , you need temperatures of 23C ideally, only had three days this year where even the morning temperature were near that.

rice555 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hello All, Cascade was my hop of choice when I brewed back in the 70's. If you want some info and links, go to www.freshops.com Hops take $upport $tructure for commercial growing, and for harvesting short people can't cut it.(555555) rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I've been through these considerations myself. Where I live the water table isn't a long way under the surface so a lot of attention needs to be applied to water proofing I think I could do this but have too much on my plate at present to bother. Buying an old freezer and brewing in there (thermostat) seems to be the way to go. Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
