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 watched a YouTube video about the highly anticipated FX market investment and, intrigued by the potential returns, decided to make an initial deposit of $325,000 USDT. The video painted a picture of significant profits, and I thought it was a solid opportunity. After the deposit, I was bombarded with calls from a broker associated with the platform. The broker kept urging me to increase my investment in the next rounds, assuring me that this would help double my profits and secure even higher returns. Over time, I became more convinced and ended up investing a total of $444,000 USDT.At first, things seemed promising. The platform showed signs of growth, and I was told my investments were performing well. However, after six months, I began to notice red flags. The broker became less responsive, and I started questioning whether my money was actually being managed properly. I decided I wanted to withdraw my investment, as I wasn’t seeing the promised results. But when I insisted on withdrawing my funds, things took a turn for the worse. The broker stopped answering my calls and emails. My attempts to get in touch with anyone at the platform were completely ignored.Frustrated and desperate, I tried reaching out to multiple people and organisations in an attempt to get my money back. Unfortunately, none of my efforts yielded any results. I felt completely helpless. At this point, I thought I had lost everything and that the scammers had gotten away with it.Just when I thought there was no hope, I came across the team at theresachin recovery group. Even though my case didn’t meet their usual criteria, they showed genuine interest and were more than willing to assist me. Their professionalism and dedication were beyond anything I expected. Thanks to their partnership with PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, I was finally able to get in touch with the right people who could help recover my lost funds.With their expert guidance, I was able to retrieve every penny of my $444,000 investment. It was an incredible relief, and I’m now at peace, knowing that these scammers will be held accountable. I can’t thank PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION enough for their support and for giving me the peace of mind I had lost.

My friend and I invested in a crypto exchange late last year and we saw our investment being completely wiped out by the crooks who set up the same exchange account for us, at first, we wondered how that was possible to lose everything at once until we hired a private investigator and crypto recovery team Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to let us know that this crypto exchange was a series of crime being perpetrated by Crypto con men, however, Morphohack surprised us when they told us that it was possible to recover our crypto investment funds without breaking a sweat, and it did happen, Morphohack recovered our crypto assets from this exchange and we were able to track down these conmen. I applaud the service of Morphohack, and how they were professional and very responsive to us. I can attest to their commitment and ability to deliver when you need them.
