Hallo. Ich spreche nicht gut Deutsch, daher bin ich mit Google übersetzen,
dies zu schreiben. Bitte entschuldigen Sie meine schlechte Grammatik. Ich
habe vor kurzem nach Deutschland gezogen und bin ein begeisterter
Heimbrauer. Ich weiß nicht, wo ingrediants zu kaufen. Ich habe die Links zu
den Geschäften auf dieser Website gesehen, aber was sind die beliebteste?
Hobbybrauershop, Genuess Reich, Hopfen und mehr, oder ein anderes Geschäft?
Gibt es irgendwelche Läden der Nähe von Nürnberg, die ich zu gehen oder in
Online-Kauf ist die beste Option kann? Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.
Cheers!
TKO
Hello. I don't speak German well, so i am using Google translate to write
this. Please excuse my poor grammar. I have recently moved to Germany and
am an avid home brewer. I don't know where to buy ingrediants. I have seen
the links to stores on this website, but which are the most popular?
Hobbybrauershop, Genuess Reich, Hopfen und mehr, or another store? Are
there any stores near Nurnberg that i can go into or is buying online the
best option? Thank you for your help. Cheers!

From one American to another welcome. Don't use google translate, just type
in German how you know and you will be fine, most folks understand AND it
is a good learning expierience. I am using this forum to develop my German
skills and over the last few months I have noticed an improvment, so use
this forum to help you with that.
Not many shops around, we do group purchasing often, however the Hofen und
Mehr, we call it HuM is your best bet.
I do however suggest you ask many questions here in the forum as you will
get, fast, honest and helpful advice. Before you buy something ask here,
chances are some know where to find it cheaper or better.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
It's great ot see some Americans join - i only recently started and joined
here myself, but I agree to Birk's statement that help get's here very
fast. The two shops I have ordered from thus far are 'Hopfen und mehr' and
'Hopfen der Welt'; I was very satisfied with both of them.
Do you have equipment or want to start anew?
Best, kvendlar

I agree, shop of my first choice is HuM.
For special items, before buying them out of the blue, first ask here in.
This boards members are from every possible profession and a lot of them
know someone who knows someone who trades the requiered items at best
prices.
And finaly, the members of that board often join for concerned buying,
dumping prices to lowest level possible.
Welcome in Germany TKO, welcome to our board. As a craft-brewer in Germany
you could not find a better place than that.

I should clarify i speak no German, working on it when I can but
unfortunatly, ,I have only a few years here and i have a lot on my plate.
Thanks guys for your responces. I left all my things in the US thinking i
wouldnt want to brew in Germany. Come to find out, I miss the IPA's,
Stouts, and non German styles. The only things I have are Brew kettle, MLT,
and HLT. Everything else i will need to purchase, so i plan to go
minimalist (and cheap) as much as possible. I am fortunate that I am exempt
from VAT so that saves around 15% when shopping in stores, and i have an US
postal address so Amazon is doable. Either i dont know where to look or
Home brew stores are not as prevalent in Germany as in the US. I have been
told about Stabilo which has a wein making section where i could get some
equipment but i am always open to new ideas. I live about an hour outside
Nurnberg but wont be home for a few months.
Appreciate any help you can provide. My neighbors are tired of me talking
trash and are demanding US style beer that is not BMC.

How many beer liters of beer want your to brew? For the begininng (25L),
the most of us use a "Einkochtopf", I don´t know the expression in english.
It is a big pot, whith a electric heating. You can buy it for about 50 Euro
in shops like Praktiker, Hela Baumarkt, toom baumarkt, hagebau, Hornbach,
Obi. In supermarkets or ebay you will find big metal pots, where the beer
can ferment. The rest (hops, malts, yeast etc.) you can buy in the
internet. I prefer hopfen-und-mehr.
My englisch is not perfect, I hope you will understand what I´m wiriting.

I guess anyone around here is willing to help :-)
Why dont you put a signature under your postings stating you're planning to
get to learning German asap but are relatively new here.
Ok, in order for the folks to swamp you with their hints, let's see what
you have in mind:
Does your brew kettle include the heating? (electric or gas?)
How big is your batch size?
Do you need/want pumps?
Bottle or Keg Fermentation?
Want/need a chiller or is cooling overnight acceptable to you?

find ich nicht. Insbesondere bei
zweiten solltest Du korrekt zitieren - und den Zusatz 'that is not BMC',
vielleicht als Neugier der Nachbarn auf nicht BudMillerCoor interpretieren.
Und nachdem ich ne Zeit in den Staaten war hätte ich locker 5 Euro für ne
Flasche IPA gezahlt gab's halt nicht zu kaufen.

Sorry, ist ja schon fast ein threat-highjack von mir. Natürlich soll dem

Schatten. Und ein gutes Bier wird es nicht nur dadurch, dass man große

I will not use pumps, my system is gravity fed and heated with propane.
I will bottle condition my bier. My greatest issue is fermentation. In the
US i used Better Bottles and glass fermenters but i dont want to spend the

I think ggansde has only misunderstood your sentence, so don´t worry,
sometimes language makes worries were are none of them.
Welcome to this forum, i know since i got contact to birk, that the
american home brewers feel a bit lost in getting their stuff to brew.
You will get any help as good as in usa in this forum, most of the folks
here answer directly, so you will be sometimes surprised.
The shops you have counted are some of the most used, you will get
everything you need there, sometimes you have to write an email to ask for
stuff they don´t have equipped. But be sure some like "hopfen und mehr"
will make it possible to get what you want.
For fermentation you can have a look at some DIY markets to get some there.
"Bauhaus" has some seasonally, prices are ok too.
If you like to have some 60 Liter bukets for fermentation, have a look at
ebay.de, you will get some for 35 Euros each.
So have a nice time in Germany, be sure you will get good contacts here and
good luck with your brew.
best
Chris

...die Spaßbremse mal wieder: I don't know how's your status with the
german customs ("Zoll").
Normally you have to register with them your status as a "home brewer"
("Hobbybrauer"), which includes 200 liters of beer per year being free of
charges.
But different customs offices in germany like different ways of registering
every "sud".
Daniel (Birk) is in the area of a quite rigid customs office, that require
a sud to be registered quite early (about 1 week before mashing in, I
think).
I don't want to be pesky, just want to avoid possible problems for you with
german customs.

persons...our busdriver in the australien holidays took the challenge and

Yes they told me a minimum of 2 weeks before each brew day. To get past
this problem I simply came up with a bunch of dates and infromed the
customs office of those dates for each brewday. They do allow me to send
emails so that is easy. I have however only heard back from them once and
that was just after I registered. I have done all the communications via
email and CC myself each time.
I just went over 200 liters this weekend and so now I need to figure out
how to process that. I know there are forms to fill out, however, I don't
know exactly how that works. Good news is that I was offered help with that
by another person on this forum. I figure it is always good to get a buddy
to help you at first to make sure you do things right.
The good news is that if you register now, you should be ok to brew in less
than 3 weeks to a month as the registration goes by in just over a week in
most cases.

Hi, the most common fermenting buckets as shown
on the photo hold 32 liters (8 gal) and are perfect for 20 liter batches
(5gal) with enough head room for Krausen
click here for details
In hardware shops in rural areas you may find wine making equipment during
the season which is also useful for brewing.
Cheers, Ruthard

Hello TKO,
welcome to this great Beer Knowledge Hub (BKH). It takes a little time to
understand how thinks work in Germany, but like everywhere else, you will
get the benefit of doubt when you make a mistake, as long as you are humble
and (sometimes) play this instrument, but it will not last forever and you
will not have the right to claim not knowing after you where caught a
couple of times.
Germans are forgiving if it goes around Bier, as long as you don't openly
offend the good old German Beer Law from somewhere in the 15th! We are
proud of it even so most don't know it is relatively hollow by now.
For supplies, just ask it as you already did and any other question, you
can use English, it is one of the many beautiful facts of this forum, that
we have members around the world. The main language is German, but I would
not be surprised if answers can come in many languages if one would try.
One hint: we have a great number of members in this forum, but I only see
perhaps 150-300 active members and it sure feels appreciated if you stick a
'best regards, cheers etc.' and your first name under your text.
All the best around here and have fun.
Cheers, Jörg

TKO,
so if you have fermenter, lauter ton and even a hot water ton, then it
seems you lack fermenting vessel only. 30L Hobbock buckets are a good
option i guess. Also franconian hardware stores should offer equipment for
making most - you should find fermenters in all sizes there, also airlocks,
taps, ...
Do you need other equiment for cleaning, measuring, etc? Maybe get a
starter kit (or "starter set"). The slightly bigger ones include a 30L
bucket with airlocks, cappers & caps, a bottle filler, some yeast, hops and
extract (which you can still use for starters or just make a beer out of it
when there's no time for mashing). On the other hand, buying everything
seperate and ditching the ingredients will save some money probably.
Many people over here use small 5L kegs instead of bottles. You can reuse
those that you can buy in almost any supermarket - make sure you dont get
the ones with a CO2 cartridge inside.
Out if curiousity: what would be the first beer for you to brew?
Let us know what you equipment you need!
best, kvendlar

HAHA I promise you I am more scared of you then anyone could be of me!
Uwe- Thanks, I had been researching the taxs and notification It is
something i want to do. Do most people register? How do people actually get
caught? Is this a good reference? http://www.speidels-braumeister.de/Rechtliches:_:30.html?la
nguage=en and would i send the letter to my stadt of Bayrn or
county?
Birk, I'll send you a PM about the customs place. I brewed illegally in
Alabama (it is a felony there) but I will do it the right way in
Germany...i understand it's at most a few Euros a year.
Wolf - Exactly what i am looking for thank you.
Hagan - I have kettles and i dont think my Frau will let spend that kind of
money. I had to sign a cleaning contract just to brew. I will keep an eye
out for other opportunities though.
kvendlar - I love the keg idea. Are they just commercial beers like
Pauliner and i just drink the beer and reuse? We just started geting those
in the US but ours are not reusable. Is there a good reference or forum
that talks about how to use the kegs? Do i need any special tools to fill
them or open them? Like these? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/243/03kegsry2.jpg/sr=1
I am excited about the idea!
First up, I have plans for a quick Brown ale, then oatmeal coffee stout and
Blackened Imperial American Pale Ale which will both need to be conditioned
to get me through the winter.
Best!
