In Topic: Dextrose

I have recently imported cans of  home brew from Australia to make into beer.. It was opened by customs and passed on to me with no complications. I think if it was illegal they would have confiscated it.  .
                      Now all I require id some Dextrose and powdered  corn syrup. Anyone know where to purchase these items?  Thank you in advance. Gerry.

Hi,
   I have lived in Thailand on and off for 5 years. Latest stint nearly 3 years. I read the beer labels and they all say lager beer. The only one I found was a Japanese one but "dry' and no "head'
   So I decided to import the can of malt with hops and the other ingredients.  The postage is not cheap but I am hanging out for a beer with a good head and taste. I have been making beer for about 45 years and only had about 2 bad batches. Plus home brewed beer lasts a lot longer. I once had a bottle 10 years old. Normally I drink it  1 to 3 years old. I am difficulty obtaining glucose
or dextrose. plus white powered corn syrup.to help make the brew. If anyone could advise me where to purchase the aforementioned products I would be obliged. I did not have any problems with importing  the product. It had been opened by customs too.
   I went on a small cruise from Adelaide to Melbourne. I do not remember the name of the ship. But when we docked at Melbourne the ship got a reasonable distance from the dockside and went sideways into the dock. They also served beer in a type of plastic container which had a double body or skin Similar to a Thermos  flask. I had never seen one before or since. It kept your beer cooler longer. the drawback was it was so wide around the rim of the container I do not think it contained the full measure of beer as it soon got empty.

Legality aside (this is a theoretical question), is there anything about the climate and seasons here that would either help or hinder home brewing?

Hot season, cold (well, cool) season, rainy, dry, I brew (oops,should be "would brew") in a relatively cool part of the house here outside Bangkok.  One reason I like the C
opers kits is
that they seem to be very temperature tolerant.  Hot season, 7 days in the primary, cool season, 10 days or so.  

Haven't had to pour a batch out but some have turned out less than stellar.

   I have been home brewing for around 45 years . I have had my fermenter and bottle capper sent from Australia. I need to purchase powdered corn syrup and glucose. Would you know where I can purchase these items? Thank you Gerry. gerryandpon@hotmail .com
