I don't want to post this item if it's not appropriate...
...I managed to scratch an itch of mine--that is, to brew in a commercial brewery, see if people would actually pay money for my beer and, more importantly, come back and buy it again.
Sadly, that brewery closed due to a huge number of mistakes.
I wrote up an after-action report on that which I sent to a relative who was thinking of opening a brewery, as a kind of warning, detailing the mistakes they made in hopes he would not repeat them.
Is there interest in such a thing and/or is it appropriate to post something like that here? I know most home brewers, in their dreams, wish they could brew commercially...I actually had a chance to do it. And yes, people bought my beer and came back and bought more.
If it's acceptable to post this (it's LONG, probably six typewritten pages), what would be an appropriate forum for that? It details the mistakes, and I so wish we could go back in time and correct those.
BTW, the name of the brewery and brewers have been removed so no one should feel like it's being mean--but I wonder if people would like to see how not to do it?
