Hey guys,
So I think I need some fellow brewers to confirm what I'm already thinking. I was recently approached by a group of people who are in the process of opening a restaurant, and they want to incorporate some house brewed beers into their plans. They loved my homebrew, so they want me to brew for them, which is awesome, but I don't know that I have the chops for it.
They're thinking about doing something like 100-150 gallons/week, and having maybe three different styles. I have a full time job that I can't quit. I know quite a bit about brewing, but I've only recently gotten into all-grain at home, and I've never brewed on anything bigger than my five gallon set-up. Also, the owners are complete brewing novices so they want me to set up the whole brew house, which I know next to nothing about.
What do you think? should I just bow out gracefully before I get in any deeper? Is it crazy for me to attempt this, or is this something that a homebrewer could pull off with the proper research?
Any and all advice is welcome.
