So the wife and I got a crazy idea to move to Hawaii now that my job is 100% remote and she can get a job at the university or public library. After looking at houses we'll probably end up buying in the Hilo area around this time next year. I'm just searching for any general feedback or advice on moving to, living in, and most importantly brewing in Hawaii.
It looks like there are a couple homebrew stores on the island, I'm an all grain brewer with a 4 tap keezer so I'm hoping I'll have an easy time stocking up on sacks of grains and bulk hops and getting co2 refills locally?
We're planning on selling most of our stuff and shipping the rest along with our vehicles and all my homebrew equipment. Any comments are welcome from Hilo members, or Hawaii in general. We have a 5 year old and a 6 month old, and I'll admit I'm a bit nervous about the idea of moving to a tiny secluded island after spending the majority of my life in a big city in Texas, but looking forward to the weather and the beaches.
