 |
|
Hello homebrewers:
I made my first batch this weekend. Good times, kind of stressful because I was trying to make a belated thanksgiving party 
I feel like everything went fine except for chilling the wort. I did the bathtub method and not only did it take too long, it took an absolutely shameful amount of water.
There's a wort chiller on goodbeer but it's 54,000 won, and it's just a damned piece of coiled copper and plastic tubes. So, how can I build one, or better yet, would there be any sort of professional in Korea that I could walk up to and go, "hey, can you make this for me for $20?" |

Should work as long as everything is super clean and sterile. I've been reading up on beer making since you can buy this stuff to make it, but you can't buy beer on the internet.
I want German Erdinger Hefewiezen beer now, anyone mail me some from Seoul? |

Seems pretty simple. |
Pretty simple, but good god this is when I'd kill for a home depot. Where can I just go and get copper tubing and what not? |

Heck yea, I used to drink Franzikaner over in Germany back in the 90's. It was an awesome time.
And then Seoul serves up Erdinger in Itaewon. You could spend a fortune enjoying Erdingers as last time I checked they were 7,000 a glass. I'm going up there over Christmas weekend for that. I like those bars like 3 Alley, because they serve good beer and remind me of going out to bars near American military bases in Germany and have many of the same sort of people in them. They just brought the German style to Korea, because they love it and want more of it, but one can only stay for up to 5 years at a duty station. Everyone was trying to stay in Germany and appealing orders to leave. Yes, in Germany the local style was well appreciated by most as Europe is just an awesomely fun place. It was a priveledge going with the army as I would had never been able to go on my own due to being unemployable over in such an expensive land.
Any of this homemade brew that good? |

| I made one and it was easy (Homebrew Korea). Just went down to the local pipe shop and got all the fittings and pipe i needed. It's pretty amazing how fast it cools the wort. My tap water isn't that cold, so I can only get the wort down to around 30 degrees celsius, but that's not too bad. |

I used to co-own a bar in Black Mountain, NC. We specialized in high quality and high gravity beer. I think that I drank a good bit of the profits away with these 2. Franzikaner was my favorite. 
Ah, who am I kidding? We never had any profits and went under  . |
