I've been in the domain-game for about a year and I must say, thanks to some development (ads/affiliate) and recent sales I'm at a break even point, so everything is profit from now on. Some may know from my introduction that I'm a beer wholesaler and have a beerfirm (brewery without a brewery). Now I'm taking the next big step!
And I'm happy to say that with my own money and 2 small investors the plans reached "GO" stage!
This will be the setup!
A 3 vessel (Mashing/filter + Boil/whirlpool + Hot water) setup to brew 460 liters per batch (~4bbl). We're going to set up in a small house we're renting in our own street and there is enough space for a small tasting room.
Just got word from our supplier and the last investor so...
Very happy and wanted to share
update: more info
The beerfirm is Domein Reynaert, we're from Belgium (Flanders) and we're named after a local saga of Reynaert de vos (Reynaert the fox). It's a tale about a mischievous fox who steals, rapes and kills.
In the story there are a lot of other animals who want to bring him to justice before the king (Nobel, the lion). We are going to make a beer for every main character animal in the saga.
Currently we have:
* Nobel (the lion) - 6% - a pale ale (Spécial Belge)/hefeweizen hybrid. By using 35% wheat and a low mashing temperature we create a light sour to the caramels
* Ysengrin (the wolf) - 9.5% - a Belgian style Tripel with Nelson Sauvin hops, gives a full and tropical fruit aroma and flavour.
* Bruun (the bear) - 14% - a brown barley wine with honey. The strong sweet caramel and honey go fine together with the strong alcohol. Degustation beer, pairs great with chocolate and blue cheeses.
With the new brewery we'll add 2 beers to the range next year and we'll start an experimental range called "Malpertuus" (the name of Reynaert's favorite castle) that will be brewed on our 100 liter hobby/pilot installation as limited editions.
