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!!

Bitcoin Recovery Testimony – How TROYHACKS CYBER SERVICES Recovered My $680,000
A few months ago, I experienced one of the most devastating moments of my life. I had invested $680,000 in what I believed was a solid cryptocurrency opportunity, only to find out it was a scam. The realization hit hard. I felt helpless, angry, and convinced that the money was gone for good.
After countless sleepless nights and failed attempts to get any meaningful help, I came across a company called TROYHACKS CYBER SERVICES. At first, I was skeptical—I’d already been burned, and the idea of trusting someone else with my situation felt risky. But from the first conversation, something felt different. They were professional, transparent, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing.
TROYHACKS has been in the recovery space for years, and their track record really stood out. They explained how they use advanced cyber forensic tools and blockchain tracking software that can trace stolen funds even through multiple wallets and obfuscation layers. Honestly, I didn’t even think that kind of technology existed outside law enforcement.
Despite my doubts and the complex nature of the theft, they took on my case and got to work right away. They kept me updated throughout the process, which helped rebuild a bit of trust I thought I’d lost for good. Weeks later, they did what I thought was impossible—they recovered the full $680,000.
I still get emotional thinking about it. I had accepted that the money was gone forever, but TROYHACKS proved otherwise. Their expertise, years of experience, and cutting-edge tools brought back not just my funds, but also a sense of justice and peace of mind.
If you’re in a similar situation, I can’t stress this enough—reach out to them. I’m beyond grateful for what they did for me. Here are the contact details they can be reached through,

A few weeks ago, I experienced one of the most devastating moments of my life, I watched my entire Bitcoin, BNB, and SOL holdings vanish within hours. I had fallen victim to an inferno drainer attack, a malicious tool that silently emptied my wallets. In total, I lost about €109,000.At first, I couldn’t believe what was happening. I felt helpless and confused, questioning how something like this could even be possible. I was convinced that my crypto was gone forever, and with it, years of savings and hard work. But then, a friend mentioned Morphohack, a professional crypto recovery service. I decided to reach out, though I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the start, they were extremely professional. They listened carefully, assessed the situation, and explained exactly what had happened, confirming that I’d been targeted by an advanced drainer tool.
The good news? They told me my crypto was still traceable and recoverable.
To my amazement, within just two days, Morphohack successfully recovered my stolen assets. Their team handled the entire process with skill and care, keeping me informed every step of the way.
I’m sharing this to warn others, these types of attacks are real, and no one is immune. Be cautious with your wallets and if the worst happens, don’t give up hope. If you’ve experienced a similar loss, I highly recommend Morphohack. They’re not just experts in recovery, they understand how to protect what matters most.
