Would anyone happen to know what the Greek law says about brewing your own beer?

I would agree with Chris that the laws would be similar in Greece to that in the UK. In Greece I would prefer to make wine rather than beer.
If you decide to make beer here is one tip that I am sure that Chris would agree with me on. Be prepared to wait for your brew to mature. Most brewers say their brew was Ughhh!!. They were in too much of a hurry to drink it.

I do like my beer and the thing i will miss when i move over next summer is a pint of bitter, so i thought as i will have lots of time to potter about why not turn my hand to brewing my own.
the only thing i can find on the internet is
'alcohol producing in home distilleries in Greece is prohibited by law'

I wouldn't think that will affect you as beer isn't 'distilled'. Likewise nor is wine and many locals produce their own. That law seems to be aimed at spirits as would also apply in the UK.

The most inportent thing when brewing is to make sure all your equipment is sterile...Befor you start...
Time is a factor...when brewing if you can get your beers down in gravety you have succeeded...Always check with your Hidrometer to your final P.G of your beer..This mark is on the bottom of the Hidrometer...
A small tip when you come to bottleing your beer(makeing sure your bottles are sterile most inportent)is a small amount of suger water a spoon full in each bottle..This will give you a slite secondery fermentaion ...But its up to you....Its nice to hear that shhhhhhhhhhhh when you pour your very first pintthe and a nice white frothy head....Chris
In fact i have a brewers hidrometer you can have free to help you on your way...If you like...
