Hello,
Does anyone else make their own beer here? If so Does anyone have a bottle capper they may like to sell??
cheers

Yeast; I use 'Bakers bonus' from ABD in Singaraja. Perfect.
Bottles used plastic 1.5 litre fanta, sprite or **** bottles work fine with the top screwed on tight. [have had aqua bottles explode.]
I Make ginger beer.
All you need is a dustbin, black bin liner, a pin, 20+litres of water, kilo ginger, 4 kilos of sugar, 1 table spoon of bakers bonus, some lemon grass, bottles, siphon tube and a funnel.
ABD - nice - I'm sure i can find that down in Kuta.
Ginger "Ale," yeah that was also on my list - and sounds like a good starter one.
I'd planned on getting one of those 20L Aqua bottles. I brought an airlock back with me. I suppose the recipe goes like: Boil 5L water, sugar, shredded ginger, lemon grass for a half hour to make a nice sugary tea. Mix with 15L water, add yeast at 70F if you can find it that cool anywhere Ferment for a week and bottle it up!
Any tricks on fermenting? Does 8kg sugar give ya a nice 7% alcohol and still have a sweet taste? Do you have to reprime the bottles with sugar, and with 1.5L bottles, is that what, 4tsp sugar each?
All very exciting, a cheap and easy way to dodge the sin tax around here
Hi dingo
I have a hardly used bottle capper, bought it in Darwin several years ago. Made a few batches but gave up in the end. Maybe I drink too fast.
Send me a PM if you're still interested.

You only have 24 per day????:icon_rolleyes:I know this place in Java. It is called Bintang Brewery. They send beer to me already capped in pretty little green bottles. It costs 9,500 rupiah a bottle. Wonderful stuff.
:icon_lol:
24 of the little devils every day only costs me 230,000.
:icon_biggrin:
Gilbert, yes the small bottles. The big ones get hot too quick.
Goldminer, yes cutting back to 24 a day. It is my new diet. No beer before breakfast.
:icon_rolleyes:
a solution to the getting hot fast, drink faster :icon_lol:, just joking..
I always drink the small ones too for the same reason as you.
was asking about the/your price, cuz I'm in the process of setting up a klubhouse/bar..
