Autor: Betreff: Brewing shops in Munchen? bzwrxbz Newbie Beiträge: 5 Registriert: 4.10.2006 Status: Offline erstellt am: 4.10.2006 um 12:05   Excuse me, for I do not speak German... Are there any homebrew shops in and around the Munich area where I can purchase and pick up equipment? I know that I can order online, but for large equipment it is preferable if I can pick it up. thank you for your help... cheers! bzwrxbz Newbie Beiträge: 5 Registriert: 4.10.2006 Status: Offline erstellt am: 8.10.2006 um 11:58   I take it from the lack of responses, that there are no brewing shops in Munich?? Ok, I guess I will have to mail order everything. Danke!

I've ordered everything by mail at some onlineshops. Where are you from? Are you living (and brewing) in Munich? ____________________ Interpunktion und Orthographie des Postings ist frei erfunden.

I am originally from California. Although I love the Bavarian beers, I do wish for a good West Coast IPA or APA. So, I wish to brew while I am here... plus I miss brewing. Thanks for the response!

Most hobby brewers here will not be so lucky to have a brewer's shop near by. I can understand, that you are a bit homesick for beer styles that are not offered here. If not noticed now: american hops are offered bei Brouwland that have an english speaking site also. To avoid the higher shipping costs, you can order Brouwland products by the "Online-Shop" that is mentioned in the right frame of the forum. Perhaps Thomas is accepting your orders in english tongue, so you don't need to translate. BTW: it may sound silly, but can anyone tell me, what is an IPA or an APA? When i browse the web for "IPA", i get "International Police Association", but i don't think, their main goal is to brew beers?!

Ah, great! Now i understand, what Kai is always saying in his subject!

It's nearby Munich, and I got some fresh yeast there. They have bottom fermented and top-fermented yeast, and the brewmaster is very friendly to hobbybrewers. Just drive e.g. with the S5 from Munich Main Station to Herrsching, and then with the bus to the Kloster Andechs. It's only necessary to bring a bottle or a yar and then you will get your yeast. Best Regards, Bodo ____________________ "Wer kein Bier hat, hat nichts zu trinken" (M.

Are there duties or customs costs from ordering international like from Brouwland? I would assume there would not be any additional costs if the country is in the EU... Sorry if these all seem like silly questions, I am used to driving a few miles to the brew shop to get my things, while mail ordering occasionally. Yes, APA is American Pale Ale. cheers! Antwort 8 CFM Senior Member Beiträge: 176 Registriert: 16.8.2004 Status: Offline Geschlecht: erstellt am: 15.10.2006 um 19:39   Hi bzwrxbz, in Germany you won't find that many "walk-through" brew shops like in the U.S., U.K. or Australia. The few we have are mostly based on mail-order. What do you need exactly ? Equipment, ingredients ? Just post it here and we can discuss where the easiest place is for you to find it . I'm sure here are many friendly homebrewers who like to help you with finding and translating anything. You can order any Brouwland (based in Belgium) item at these German online stores to avoid international (EU) additional shiping costs. Hopefully they speak English.... Or you make a list and post it here and we set up a Fax for you. www.hobbybrauerversand.de www.hobbybrauershop.de greez Christian [Editiert am 15.10.2006 um 19:43 von CFM] Antwort 9 bzwrxbz Newbie Beiträge: 5 Registriert: 4.10.2006 Status: Offline erstellt am: 15.10.2006 um 22:46   Hello... Primarily I am concerned about getting the equipment to start. Fermentation vessel, airlocks, cleaning supplies, hydrometer, thermometer, fermometer, etc... I usually like to see what big things I am getting before I purchase, especially since this is not my home country, I could get "surprised". I will just order a starter kit I suppose, and then get the additional items required. Sometimes in the U.S., shipping times can be incredibly long from the online-shops. Does this typically happen here? I have seen the rating system for the different shops in Germany that this site has... If I remember correctly, www.candirect.de was rated pretty well, and it looks as if they have a lot of the small pieces needed. Are their customer service and shipping times usually pretty good? I will look into the Brouwland distributors mentioned above as well. cheers! and thanks in advance. [Editiert am 16.10.2006 um 14:40 von bzwrxbz] Antwort 10
