Got a call a few weeks ago from one of our local real ale pubs. They have a brewhouse on site that's been stood idle for a couple of years, it was pretty much time to brew some beer or stick the kit on ebay.
It's a serious step up for me but I've been around commercial brewing for a while now and don't find the scale particularly intimidating. There is a bit of pressure because the pub is very high profile so trying to get expectations in the right place was pointless, try as I might, and the beer had to be good right out of the gate.
The kit fought us a little bit but we got there and the beer came out quite well, I think a solid 6/10 with obvious room for improvement.
I'm paying the price this morning for brewing to 5.6%
