Any pro brewers still do homebrew?
« on: January 20, 2022, 07:32:23 am »
Just out of curiosity, how many pro brewers also still brew at home? If you do, what do you like to brew? Wouldn't mind seeing setups too.

Count me in. I never stopped homebrewing, I just added pro brewing to my life.
Lately I've been brewing lagers almost exclusively at home, and greatly increased my lager production at work.
I have 3 different systems at home because, well, I'm a geek, and I love experimenting.

Sort of. I do some small batches at home (5L). But it is very rare. I do a lot of "homebrewing" at the brewery (see my recent post in the Equipment Section)

Two guys in my club are pros,  one's a head brewer, the other an assistant brewer. They bought still brew at home but not as frequently.  The head brewer though, his home brewed beers are really batches for his own brewery he plans on opening and are canned and labeled as such.
