Home Brew On A Plane - AussieHomeBrewer.com

Im surprised no one has thought of the Quarantine restrictions that our customs has.. border patrol anyone?

All food or drink items must be sealed and have the retail labels attached for proof of ingredients, you see it all the time on the tele, im sure other countries would have the same restrictions, maybe check out the scottish customs website for food declarations etc.

At the end of the day, as long as you declare it, you won't take a hit to the pocket in terms of a fine, they just pull you up to check it, if you tell em its beer, they might not even ask to look. Happened to me plenty of times with lollies etc from the USA. Although, their booze excise laws might also require you to pay tax on importing alcohol, so declaration is your best bet if you do.

Not many countries are as strict as Australia and New Zealand when it comes to Quarantine.

Check your alcohol allowance for Scotland, same allowance for home brew as for commercial beer. From memory I can take 16L of beer to Germany (plus the usual spirits etc), not sure how Scotland handles it But probably not as tight as Australia either, but check beforehand.

Depending on your flight schedule you might have a stopover in another EU country or even in Scotland, hence there might be no customs checks on your destination airport. As an example, when i fly to Berlin I do so via Helsinki, Frankfurt, Zurich or where ever, and as my flight to berlin comes from an EU country there are usually no customs checks in Berlin. But don't rely on that!

As others have said, pack it well and don't take it on hand luggage, surest way to loose it. That only works on Australian domestic flights.
