malt extract - homebrew
That's a great idea. I'll bet you need a special permit for that from Police, fire stations, Sanitation, Local authorities, Unions, Food and Drugs, the Senator, The Congressman, The President and the local fish and worms.

Homebrew is big in the UK where the government highly taxes beer, most supermarkets and ironmongers have such a sales section, for homebrewed just about anything, beer, wine from grapes and other things.If you come up against a brick wall Popahora you could always use the internet or contact the dominican firm which sells a malt drink - Malta something or other.
Years ago, I used to purchase the malt extract from a mail order in the US. I made 10 gallon batches of the best brew in town, and bottled it with a hand-held capping tool.
I make a mean homebrew in NH, but I'm not sure if the same ingredients would be available in the DR.
The water is also a factor; bad water = bad beer. Of course you could always use bottled water, but I wouldn't use anything else. Even boiled and filtered the tap water tastes bad.
As far as getting a license from the fishes, I'm sure Mike could arrange that. I don't know how many other hands would be out.

You could always purchase a water distiller or heavy duty filter like a Berkey to get your water to brewing standards.
I don't think you're going to find what you need there, and it will be hard for anyone to bring to you from the US. They shut down an airport in California a few weeks ago when someone tried to bring honey of all things in his luggage in soda bottles and they had people out in Bio-Hazard suits.

I'm kicking this old thread because it is on subject for my question. Would it be legal to import a Mr.Beer - beer kits, home brewing systems, and microbrewery supplies - Home home brewing kit into the DR? What is the agency in the DR that controls alcohol? Besides calling the DGA I will need to talk to whoever that agency is.
I emported a brewing plastic contrainer and 10 chemicals, yeast etc. from a US supplier with no problem of customs. Once you are set up to produce local fruit/ginger beverages all you need to import is the yeast packs - possibly p metabislphite, claarifiers, citric acid, yeast nutrient etc. These are lightweigth. I was told that if you do not try and sell it there is no problem because brewing some types of beer in local villages is a tradition. There is a rumor that there is a local still......

Must try honey mead with local honey!
If someone has the energy and capital a local honey mead could, in my opinion, find a niche market.
