Homebrewing made easy in Singapore.

It has been awhile since I last posted. Today I'm just going to talk about the Homebrewing scene in our clean and green country, Singapore.


Homebrewing made easy in Singapore. Yes, I'm going to talk on the law of homebrewing beer in Singapore and of course, the equipments needed to do so. Homebrewing is trending in other countries such as Australia and UK, but not Singapore. Probably because 99% of the time parents will object to the very idea of making beer. Can you imagine? Your parents fuck you up for drinking beer every other night, especially for girls, and now you wanna fucking brew the fucking beer in their very own fucking house? They will probably flying kick you and use your fermenter to store water and wash their cars. But let's say your parents are beer drinkers themselves, like mine, you can do it. And this is how it's done.


"This is for brewing muthafuckin' beer at home you dog."


According to The Law...


No Licence Needed for Home-Brew of Beer and Liquors
I am pleased to inform you that with the enactment of the Customs (Home-Brewing of Fermented liquors)(Exemption) Order 2008 comes into operation on 4th April 2008, there is no need for an individual to fucking apply for a licence from the Singapore Customs for brewing of beer, stout, porter, ale and other liquors (including samsu, wine etc), subject to the following conditions:
a) the person shall be 18 years old and above;
b) the manufacture of liquors shall be by fermentation and not by
distillation;
c) the amount of liquor manufactured shall not exceed รข€”
(i) in relation to beer, including stout, porter and ale, 30
litres per household of the person per month; and
(ii) in relation to any other fermented iquor, 30
litres in total for all such liquors per household of the
person per month
;
d) the liquor made shall be used for personal consumption and not
for sale; and
e) the brewing activities do not create nuisance to the public or
degrade the environment.
2 Our record shows that you are issued with a licence for home-brewing
of beer. Consequent to the enactment of the Customs (Home-Brewing of
Fermented liquors)(Exemption) Order 2008, the licence is therefore
withdrawn, as there is no fucking need for such a licence. Please destroy the
licence. Please be informed that there is no refund of the licence fee in
accordance to one of the conditions for the issuance of the licence which
states that no refund of licence fee will be made for revocation or
withdrawal of licence.
3 Please contact the undersigned at 63552093 if you have questions or
wish to seek clarification on the matter.
Yours sincerely
Yeo Soon Heng
Senior Revenue Control Officer
Revenue Control Branch
for Director -General of Singapore Customs 


I've censored the writer of this law just-in-case to avoid any unforeseen troubles, please bear with it. If you're amused by why such a serious letter has a few vulgarities in there.... Is I write myself one lah hahaha make it more shiok what right?!


So my advice to you is JUST DO IT. For own homebrewing beer kits? Visit www.homebrew.com.sg, a venture started out by Mr Neo Say Wee, one of Brewerkz's young and handsome talented brewer, and also www.ibrew.com.sg, they have a very decent homebrewing kit as well. A simple and typical home brewing kit will look like this...


With barrels and ladders and stuffs.

Sorry I fucking lied.



Hope we can discuss about homebrewing in time to come folks. Vous Voir!
