Want to be a brewer? Think again!
When I was thinking of leaving teaching and setting up Wildcraft, I visited as many breweries as I could. I was desperate to glean information, to work out how you jump from a small setup in the shed (my other half would say all over the house) to 100's of litres at a time and most importantly, trying to work out if was something I could achieve. I met some great people along the way and some very good brewers but the ultimate piece of advice that many wanted to pass on was 'Don't do it!'.
Now, for those of you that know me, the easiest way to get me to try something is by telling me not too but in this case, I thought I had better investigate further...
Reason 1: 'Your life will be taken over by it'. I will be honest, this was something that really didn't phase me. I remember sitting one night in the living room, laptop on my lap, marking students work. My other half was a mirror image, sitting across the room and I said, quite innocently how I wished I could be out of education running my own brewery. 'But you will be working all sorts of hours' was the reply. She obviously didn't see the irony of what she was saying as we both then continued to work well into the night!
As it is, yes, the place has taken over my life but thats ok, it will for the first few years but its all part of making sure we do this right! The main difference is that I am myself again, teaching was killing me, I had lost sight of who I was and why I was doing things, I was constantly grumpy and depressed... Not any more!
Reason 2: 'You will just be a glorified caretaker'. To be fair, this one is a true one! I spend more time cleaning the place than doing anything else (although you wouldn't know it sometimes) and this can become quite monotonous. Having said that, I have been the maker of my own demise here, why wouldn't I put a lovely light coloured floor paint in here which shows up every mark, footprint and stain?
Reason 3: 'Its not as easy as you think, its a big jump'. Well excuse my language but no s**t sherlock. I never expected it to be easy, I was well aware that recipes don't just work first time and that going from a small brew to a big doesn't always transfer how you would think. But thats all part of the fun of it, experimenting, finding the best flavours and making something from them. Believe me, we have plenty of unlabelled bottles in the cold room that were experiments that may or may not have gone well.
Reason 4: 'Its a crowded market'. This one is very true, that's where I needed something different... Thankfully, I was already planning on using foraged ingredients so this one was thrown out before I had even got past my first half pint!
And that was it... They were the reasons I and maybe you, if you are thinking of setting up, shouldn't do it. Having taken those on board, I went ahead and did it anyway and am so thankful that I did. Even as I sit here now, typing this in a barn that is currently 3 degrees, I think to myself one thing, its so much better than teaching!!

I hope this review gets to as many as possible because I am sure it will save many. March 15, I got a message on Telegram inviting me to join a Crypto investment group. At first, I thought it was a harmless invitation. I joined and began to see how a specific crypto and forex trader was helping many people and even gifting out Bitcoin to his loyal followers. I was thrilled; a lot of people in the group were reporting their daily successes and how they were earning massively. I was jealous; I saw people making a lot of money, but not me. I became furious and decided to contact the group’s admin, not realizing I had fallen for their trap. That Telegram channel was a hoax, controlled by an organized team of scammers. Within 3 months of being on that platform, I had given out a whopping 11 Bitcoin in total. I was lost when I was logged out of the investment website and blocked from accessing their Telegram channel. I tried all the means I could think of at that moment, all to no avail. It went from days to weeks, and I still couldn’t get back my lost Bitcoin. I was on Medium when I came across a review about digital assets recovery companies. There were quite a few of them, but DuneNectarOnlineExpert caught my attention. I copied their email ( Support @ Dunenectaronlineexpert . Com ), filed a report, and my task was attended to with utmost urgency. After back and forth with this team of cybersecurity experts, DuneNectarOnlineExpert successfully traced the Bitcoin to the scammers’ wallet, and it was successfully reclaimed. The team of DuneNectarOnlineExpert was incredibly helpful in recovering my lost Bitcoin. Telegram: T.me/Dunenectarwebexpert

For years, many people believed that once cryptocurrency was lost — whether through hacking, forgotten passwords, or accidental transfers — it was gone forever. However, advancements in blockchain forensics, legal frameworks, and recovery technology are changing that narrative. Today, cryptocurrency can, in many cases, be traced and even recovered. Understanding how recovery works requires an understanding of how blockchain operates and how specialized tools and institutions are evolving to make digital assets more secure.
Transparency of blockchain and well web involvement make everything so easy. I can put it to you that in recent days, every 100 scam resports, over 70% has been successfully recovered, and our recoverable success has contributed and added to the increase of the success rate. Unlike traditional banking systems, cryptocurrency transactions are recorded on a public blockchain ledger. Every transaction leaves a permanent digital footprint that can be viewed by anyone. This transparency is what makes recovery possible.
Specialized forensic experts use blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis, CipherTrace, and Elliptic to trace the flow of stolen or misplaced funds across wallets and exchanges even if criminals try to “mix” or “tumble” the coins to hide their origins, sophisticated algorithms can often identify patterns linking those funds back to identifiable sources.

I am James Robert from Chicago. Few months ago, I fell victim to an online Bitcoin investment scheme that promised high returns within a short period. At first, everything seemed legitimate, their website looked professional, and the people behind it were very convincing. I invested a significant amount of money about $440,000 with the way they talk to me into investing on their bitcoin platform. Two months later I realized that it was a scam when I could no longer have access to my account and couldn’t withdraw my money. At first, I lost hope that I wouldn’t be able to get my money back, I cried and was angry at how I even fell victim to a scam. For days after doing some research and seeking professional help online, I came across GREAT WHIP RECOVERY CYBER SERVICES and saw how they have helped people recover their money back from scammers. I reported the case immediately to them and gather every transaction detail, documentation and sent it to them. Today, I’m very happy because the GREAT WHIP RECOVERY CYBER SERVICES help me recover all my money I was scammed.

Address Poisoning Cost Me 9 BTC – Bitreclaim.com Found It
I had no idea what address poisoning was until the smart contract audit at Bitreclaim.com explained how I lost 9 BTC through a Ledger phishing link. The attacker cloned a trusted address, and I unknowingly approved it.
The smart contract audit broke down token approvals, wallet permissions, and transaction hashes in a way that finally made sense. With their help, I detached the funds and moved them into my Trust Wallet for safety.
This level of blockchain forensics is rare and necessary in today’s scam environment.
Hobart – “Crypto Recovery Scam” (Lost $220,000 AUD)
I was scammed twice — first by a fake investment site, then by a fake “crypto recovery firm.”
I live in Hobart, and by the time I found Bitreclaim.com on reddit, I was broken.
Their team didn’t judge me.
They opened a case, audited all chains involved, and detached 3.9 BTC.
There are real recovery experts — and then there is Bitreclaim.com whom i opened a case with on their 24/7 customer support
