Got laid off from my booze sales gig thanks to COVID19. Decided to take a pay cut to learn a new skill and go deeper into the world of beer. It’s hard work and sales makes you lazy. No more bar hopping and pitching seasonal releases... I’m a maltster now.3yr ⋅ AltBrau ⋅ r/beerporn

I’ve been wanting to make a 100% NorCal beer.

In June I’m brewing in Belgium with 3 brothers on their farm. This is the cover to their coolship, used to inoculate the wort with wild yeast as it cools. Made from grape vines.
