Home Brew in Singapore

February started very hectically and interestingly. The first day saw me in somehow panic mood as I realised first month of the new year was gone and with little achievement. To make up for the lost time, I started the day very early and was at the office by 7:15 am. I managed to get through quite a lot and made up some ground lost in January.

Our company has recently launched a website to market British made home brew kits in Singapore (www.HomeBrewEmpire.com) and I was looking for ways to market the kits. Through the grapevine I came to know of a gathering at The Pump Room on Thursday night (February 1, 2007). There was a talk organised by a group of home brew enthusiasts. The speaker on the night was Chris White, President of White Labs based in San Diego, California. White Labs Inc. is a leader in pure yeast and fermentation services. Chris gave a talk on the use of yeast in beer brewing and answered some very interesting questions raised by some of the home brewers present. White Labs has a very good website : www.whitelabs.com/beer/homebrew_FAQ.html which covers most of the basic terms and questions on home brew. Our company website, www.HomeBrewEmpire.com, is a good place to start learning about home brewing. One of the home brew enthusiast I met in the meeting was Bill Brehm, his website (www.BillBrehm.com) has some interesting and authentic photos of home brew setting.

This is the first time I met the group and I really enjoyed myself. The setting was superb, the people were friendly and enthusiatic about home brew. I am looking forward to the next gathering with this group of home brew enthusiasts in the near future.
