Im going to order the beerdroid and use MyUs as a shipping forward agent to get it to Norway. I really want to buy brewprints as well but im pretty sure that the US customs will not be happy cause they contains chemical substances. The beerdroid is not a problem getting imported but im a little skeptical about the brewprints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember you can use any wort in the Droid, kit, purchased, all grain and from the BrewPrint recipes purchase your own ingredients locally. Let us know how you go and contact BrewArt about posting ingredients. Cheers Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep you updated. I will also send brewart a mail and ask if it is legal to ship brewprints outside the US. They have some brewprints there that im sure I would like even though I havent tasted it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beerdroid is not a problem getting imported but im a little skeptical about the brewprints Hi @Sondre Sørensen The US BeerDroid operates at 110V 60Hz, the voltage in Norway (and Europe in general) is 220V 50Hz. It would be better to import the Australian model as that runs the same as the European voltage/frequency. Putting very hot liquid like wort into the BeerDroid would not be a very good idea, I doubt the plastics have been designed for that. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Furthermore as the Droid only operates to a maximum of 30C I would suggest no hotter than that be poured into the droid. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I remember chatting to Liam one time and he said 40 degrees was the maximum tem you'd put into the droid because any hotter would affect the plastic that the droid is molded from. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I buy directly from the brewart store it will be 220v system? Its a little sad cause amazon sells it for 449$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a little sad cause amazon sells it for 449$ True but that is American dollars, your currency buys twice as much Aussie dollars than American. Unsure what shipping costs would be though, imagine it won't be cheap but...when I made the investment into Brewart, I rationalised I would need o use it for 2 years to break even/be ahead in comparison to buying beer, so it is a long term deal but I am just coming up on 2 years. Sure I have major liver issues, people cross the road when I am walking down the street, a few have gotten drunk standing down wind of me but I have almost broke even now. Anyways, if you do look to go the Aussie route https://www.ausff.com.au/norway/ These guys deliver from Aus to Norway. Oh, the link is safe as well, I wouldn't put one up that wasn't Edited October 17, 2020 by Rob Courtney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 With the price of alcohol in Norway it would mean that you break even so much quicker than you could ever hope to in Australia. If you like good beer then it's almost a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sondre Sørensen Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Its true words you folks say. I will order directly from the brewstore store so I dont need to hassle with buying step down converter and such. Any of you guys know if I order brewprints if they will send them out of Australia? In Norway its legal substances but I know that Australia is very strict with imports but im not sure how they handle exports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowest price would be 221 AUD which is very expensive. Are you sure I cant use MyUs as a forward agent? That I cant buy from brewart and ship it to the adress that I recieved? Maybe I can just write to them that I wish to get the 220v version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps contact Brewart in Australia directly and see if they're willing to work something out for you.

Keep in mind when I say this, Physics is my kryptonite (strangely, very good at maths but explain a Physics theory to me and you won't be doing it once) could you just use a travel adaptor to run the American droid in Norway?

Yes I can use a travel adaptor. I can also go to my local electric goods store and buy a power socket identical to the one on the beerdroid, only difference is that the plug is EU cord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpsTech Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 The travel adaptor will make the plug fit, it won't do anything to convert the voltage. Most small electronic devices, mobile phones, laptops etc are rated from 110V-220V 50Hz-60Hz operation, that's why you can get away with just a travel adaptor. Anything that has an AC motor in it, e.g. a refrigerator, a BeerDroid, will need to be run at their specified voltage otherwise the compressor motor will suffer. Running a US rated motor at European voltages will burn the motor windings. The other way around will result in the motor being under powered and maybe not starting. The frequency differences are less of an issue but ideally for optimum motor performance you'd want these to match the motor also. So if you want to proceed with the US option, you will need a step down transformer. With the AU option, you just need to buy a power cord from you local shop. One more thing to consider is warranty, I'd check with BrewArt to see where you would stand on this, you may also ask them on their plans to release into the European market, I heard it was on the cards but I don't know the timing. Good luck! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
