Title: shipping kegs to Germany
Post by: akavango on February 18, 2014, 02:42:25 PM
I'm invited to a wedding and the groom asked me to brew a couple beers for his big day. Do you guys know a shipper that will handle such a small quantity at a reasonable price?

Those I have checked to not ship liquids.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Could you bring it as stowed luggage?

With the weight of the kegs it could be prohibitive.

The obvious solution is to fly over for a weekend and brew in Germany.  :P

Getting all this material that he won't used again doesn't make sense plus it is pricey.

I meant more, get your mate to find a local homebrewer and brew on their kit.
