is your swiss buddy still here? where did he get his equipment? tks!sundaymorningstaple wrote:An acquaintance of mine (swiss national by the way) who's been here a fair number of years already, has been into the home brewing scene for a couple of years now (former hotelier). As he lives in a condo in upper Bukit Timah near BT Plaza, his house is already cool. His brew is quite tasty and I've often thought about doing same but don't think my taste for beer in general is quite that refined. He says after you get into it for a while it is quite easy and reasonably inexpensive as the alcohol is created in the process if you weren't aware of that fact. So no, you alcohol isn't taxed.
What he has produced reminds me of DV8 which is a limited production done by AP Breweries (which I really like and it's got a kick that will sneak up on you - It's not as strong as your European Beers but at 8% and almost tasting like a malted drink - it pretty good. (comes in a solid black glass longneck with yellow printing directly on the bottle.) Haven't been able to find it in the past 4 or 5 years though.
