Hey Guys, Just introducing myself.. new here to the forum and totally new to Brewing..

Im Australian and living in Brazil, Im a chef and planning to open my own Brewpub/Restaurant in around a years time. My plan will be to just have my own beer on the taps there so i am about to start with learning about brewing my own beers.

Looking forward to talk more with you all at sometime!

Welcome to the forum! I enjoyed these podcasts by the brewing network about going pro (they do use profanity so be forewarned) http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/Brew-Strong/Page-5

A year from newbie homebrewer to brewpub? That's a tall order. Ive been brewing for a few years now and still wouldn't be comfortable going pro.

It's doable but you'll need to brew a little more often Than just the casual every couple of weeks. Focus on just 2-3 signature brews. Maybe bring in a brewmaster toward the end to put into practice on a larger scale what you've worked out as a homebrewer.

It's relatively easy to make drinkable beer. Making great beer can be a full time challenge especially when also trying to manage a restaurant.

There are a few threads on here from those who have made the switch to pro. Very much worth the read.

I say go for it! And good luck!
