[allapazzato]

Ciao,
I'm a very keen brewer moving to Italy from New Zealand in 10 days time. I am moving to Bologna and will be shipping most of my gear including 3 x 19L kegs, 3 x 32L Pots, mash tun, copper cooler, fermenters, taps etc. I have a few questions about brewing in Italy so any help would be much appreciated. My girlfriend is italian so reply in italian if it is easier.

Do you use gas (LPG) bottles and burners and is it easy to buy?

Where/how can you buy CO2 gas for kegs? Is it expensive?

Is there any local home brewing shops/groups in Bologna?

Thank you very much!

ciao, the guys answered you well. It's pretty simple to find all the equipments in Italy. I think that it's useless and expensive to ship all your stuff but if you are nostalgic do it, i can understand you.
For the ingredients is better to buy them online. You are in (or on?) the forum of the biggest italian shop Mr.Malt. just bring with you some rhizomes of your amazing hops, here you just can find european's and american's rhizomes (many of us cultivate them).
we are happy to meet you and for sure we can learn from your experience.
share with us recipes and knowledges.
