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!!

During the pandemic, I made an attempt to invest my savings in a transaction conducted by a forex broker. Since then, I’ve been making attempts to withdraw my money, and each time, I’ve been asked to pay various fees in addition to the applicable taxes. I found out that it was all a fraud on June 30 of the previous month, and I have already lost a total of $148,000 because of it. A buddy of mine who is quite informed about the internet suggested that I use recoveryhacker101. I emailed them, and in response, they requested that we continue our conversation on WhatsApp. I did as they had instructed me to do. After getting in touch with recoveryhacker101 and waiting for 32 hours, I got a notification on my phone informing me that all of my money had been returned to me in its whole and without any explanations. I am putting this together because a significant number of people have informed me that they attempted to collect their money online but fell victim to a scam. Send an email to recoveryhacker101@gmailcom
I fell victim to an online investing company(Wirecard) who promised that if i invested in them i would be getting 10% of my investment every month, so i took that long term investment plan and for the next three months i was getting paid so i invested again this time a bigger amount, that was when they stopped receiving messages from them and did not get any payment from them also, i was left devastated, to cut the long story short, i spoke to business associate about this and was referred to brillianthackers@gmail.com who helped me recover all my investment from that company, I contacted them on Whatsapp also +14106350697, working with them was satisfactory.

As an accountant, I’m typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I’d miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.
But when CBEX’s website crashed, and all communication channels were severed, I realized I had been scammed. Devastated and lost, I searched for ways to recover my funds. That’s when I discovered Morphohack, a reputable crypto recovery service. Their expertise and track record gave me hope.
Morphohack’s team worked diligently to track down my stolen bitcoins and successfully recovered it from the CBEX scam. I’m grateful for their exceptional service and expertise. Thanks to Morphohack, I was able to recover my losses. If you’ve fallen victim to a CBEX/PCEX Scam, I highly recommend Morphohack’s services.

Y’ALL BE CAREFUL WITH CRYPTO TRADERS, GOT SCAMMED BUT RECOVERED MY FUNDS BACK!!!
Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $279,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL. COM , the email provided for consultation, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Contact; MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL,COM…+=
