Need 5 tons of 2-Row in South Korea
« on: October 16, 2014, 12:36:42 am »
I posted this in the classified section, but no one seemed to notice.  Does anyone have advice on how I might be able to help a friend who owns a craft beer brewery in South Korea import 5 tons of US 2-Row malted barley?  He has a waiver due to the US-Korean Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that allows him to order 5 tons without incurring a huge import tax.  If anyone has advice, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.

You may want to try this question on the professional brewers boards.  Google "brewers association" instead of "homebrewers".  The pros might have more experience with this type of thing.
Where the heck are we going?  And what's with this hand basket?

Has he tried contacting American brewing supply wholesalers? Has he tried contacting breweries in Korea or Japan and asking how they import grain?

That is a huge order. I can only imagine one of our brewing supply wholesalers would be happy to fill a five ton order.
Heck yeah I blog about homebrewing: Brain Sparging on Brewing

Contact Teri Fahrendorf at Great western Malting.  I don't know for a fact that they can help, but it's a good place to start.
