Good luck...welcome to the world of cleaning.... brewing...cleaning...humping stuff about...cleaning...crossing fingers...cleaning...worrying about beer...cleaning....bottling...cleaning...delivering...cleaning...
Words of advice....If I maybe so bold:-
1) Don't drink owt until the day is done. Then only in moderation, trying to brew with a raging hangover is a non starter.
2) Spend 1/5th of your working time speaking to people who might be in a position to buy your beer...The more people know what you are brewing the more you will sell. Spend a few quid on a well set up website and a blog...use social media...I sell a big portion through Twitter and facebook. I know some brewers that are ace at telling people what they are brewing and have preorders months in advance for stuff and brewers that are **** at telling people and have cold rooms full of casks.
My best mate is a DAB radio. Brewing can be a lonely occupation...
