Hello BA. Just joined the site tonight! I'm moving to South Africa in about a week and am ready to pick up homebrewing as a hobby (especially in light of a much-diminished beer selection abroad). Any South Africans or others have any insight as to how difficult it may be to buy ingredients elsewhere? Or should I consider a big ingredient run and stuff it all in my suitcase? Thanks!
I can't comment on the homebrewing scene in South Africa, but since the second largest brewing company in the world started there, I'd be cautiously optimistic. If you can't make beer, I bet you could make some pretty good mead over there. Work with what you got!
Can't say what the supply situatio is like, but found this club on the American Homebrewers Association site. If you are not close to them, they at least give you the info on how they get their supplies.
