If you boil Honey it loses most if not all of its flavour. I would try adding it after the boil and steep for 20 min or so if it were me, either that or rack onto it for a secondary.... I've not used maple syrup though.

I guess I am a bit bitter, I get people in my pub about once a week saying we aren't a real micro-brewery because we don't have an IPA, yet nobody drinks my pale ale. But I am in a unique market.
Speaking of IPA
LOL
You should see what I professionally brew in, looks like someone stuck me in a closet LOL

I will be giving pics this spring, right now its nothing to look at. Just a kitchen and a crammed shed, and a few closets lol
I don't think it's so much haters as realists. The cold hard facts dictate you are much more likely to fail in business than succeed in business; doesn't matter the industry. Can a person start a nanobrewery and be successful over time? Yes. Very few actually make it.This is very inspiring as everyone else has stated, I've always read forums full of pessimist haters who say you can't start this small but it makes the most sense. Obviously now we can all point to Dogfish Head but haters still abound.
Roger that.
I'm intrigued by the business aspect of brewing as a serial entreprenuer. I've had some wins but some turkeys as well but all tech related. I want to leave tech and do something that pays the bills until retirement in twenty or so years.

Absolutely there is more to it than just volume, but put it this way: the less volume you produce the more costly and less profitable it is. The more volume the cheaper your COGS and the more profit you will make.If it was entirely a volume business microbreweries wouldn't be in business and everyone but us homebrewers would be drinking macro backwash. I think the amount of success Hoss has had very early on shows that there's more to it.
You bet. That's how I started, since my state allows it. The tier system is stupid.I think any start up brewery that can should look into having a taproom so they can make money skipping the middle men of the industry.
Neither did I. It shouldn't cost much to get started. That's the beauty of freedom.I don't have anywhere near $5000.00 and I got started.
