we need to find out what they are called in Dominican Spanish first I think, you would also need a huge field of them coz they weigh practically nothing

And they grow fast :bunny:

I thought hops was cebada (barley) but the dictionary tells me it's l?pulo.

l?pulo.

(Del lat. tard?o lupŭlus; cf. lupus, en Plinio).

1. m. Planta trepadora, muy com?n en varias partes de Espa?a, de la familia de las Cannab?ceas, con tallos sarmentosos de tres a cinco metros de largo, hojas parecidas a las de la vid, flores masculinas en racimo, y las femeninas en cabezuela, y fruto en forma de pi?a globosa, cuyas escamas cubren dos aquenios rodeados de lupulino. Los frutos, desecados, se emplean para aromatizar y dar sabor amargo a la cerveza.

At least I got 10/10 in the Para/Por test. ;)

L?pulo for hops is correct. Hops is added for bitter flavor and natural conservation.
Barley (cebada) is the other (malted) ingredient which can be replaced with corn, rice, wheat, etc. for for their starchy content (glucose chains which are turned into alcohol by fermentation).
Then there is yeast (levadura) to start fermentation and add bubbles and also added for secondary bottle fermentation, typically in Bavarian wheat beer.
Finally pure quality spring water (agua).


Zum Wohl! ... J-D.

If someone gets me hop i?ll provide the beer

Done this when i was a student. not far from the university was a hop field and barley you can buy almost everywhere....
so i always had 45 liters of beer in the making :paranoid:
and i made a mistake earlier when talking about the amount needed it is far less about 60 grams for 20 liters

The project is taking form slowely but surely.

I?m now looking for brewing vessels fancy word for 3 empty beerbarrils do they exist in the dr and if so where can i get my hands on them
The person who provides me a barril can get half of the first batch about 30 bottles

The other half i need for testing (burp)

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I just wanted to ask: heldengebroed, did you ever get anything going? I am ordering the stuff to make 2 5 gallon batches right now and having a friend bring it down in a suitcase.
From all of the math I have done, it only comes out to about 80 - 100 pesos a liter (jumbo size) to make good home brew dark beer. I'm surprised more foreigners aren't doing it here. I wonder what licensing you would have to work out to open a microbrewery here...
