Part Time

[The Brew Mentor]

Well, it's been a long road and I've finally decided to slow down a bit and go Part Time.
I don't actually think that I can slow down, but less hours will be at work.
I hired and trained a brewer/wine maker a little over a year ago. He has taken on all the Beer and Wine production. He also handles a bit of the "Wine on Premise" which is winemaking with our customers.
My business partner handles the Bar Staff scheduling and issues along with everything else that he has always done.
I still run the retail and manage the brewer, production schedule, building maintenance, some events, etc.
We've changed the overall hours of both the retail and bar to make more sense, at least that's what we think, and that requires me to be at the shop for less hours overall.
So...Part Time!
We'll see how it goes and if needs change, but I'm ready.

For many, retirement or 'part time' does not mean less work, it means less work imposed on you, replaced by work you Want to do. You won't slow down, it is not in your nature, but the work you do will be things that you choose, not what the system chooses for you.

It takes a little getting used to, but it really is a lot of fun. And, good for you, as you can do it all on your own terms.

Time to enjoy the fruity esters of your labor! Attaboy Brian...attaboy!

Congratulations on cutting back. Enjoy your time doing what you want.

Congrats! I just quit my part-time job at a local brewery to move across the country. It's weird not being able to brew anymore. Hopefully, you find time to pursue new hobbies or opportunities.

Oh, you can brew. Maybe on a wildly different scale, but even brewing a gallon with extract in a spaghetti pot is brewing...

I plan on it. I just need to get a homebrew set up going after I find an apartment.

 

[The Brew Mentor]

The plan is 5 gallon batches in an all in one system ( not decided which one yet as they all have issues), and brew every 2-3 weeks or as needed. At least that's the starting point.
I love the gravity system I designed and built and may reproduce it if I don't like the choices available.
We'll see
