...so I figured, should I look into brewing my own beer instead? The first question that springs to mind is, is it legal in the Dominican republic? It is in the US and in most other parts of the world, but in a country like the DR, who knows.
Might as well ask the follow-up questions right away, if legal, is it feasible in this hot and humid, insect and ant-ridden environment? Has anyone here tried? I know that ale (top-fermented beer) can be brewed at fairly high temperatures, like in the 70s, but without air condition it is likely to get much warmer inside a house. Of course, if you have a spare fridge that's an option for making lager beers, like Presidente (hopefully better tasting though).
And perhaps the most important of all, are there any suppliers domestically, who sell malts, (-extract), hops and yeast, and the paraphernalia that are necessary for a proper brewing process?
