I think I know the answer to this but I want be sure.

I have 30 amp 3 prong dryer socket in a great location for a brewery. If I would simply replace the standard breaker with a 30 amp GFCI breaker in the panel I'm protected.

Correct?

Thanks
 
That'll do it. Be sure that the line neutral is connected, usually via a jumper wire as most panels aren't set up to provide neutrals to plug-in breakers. And you don't need a load neutral connection unless your equipment includes something that needs 120vac (not uncommon with domestic appliances)...

Cheers!
