Hi everyone,
In getting to know a few micro-breweries and brewers here in the UK, I've been suprised that very few have pilot breweries (say 10-20 gallon) in which to trial new recipes or tweak old ones.
Can any of you experieced micro brewers provide me with some reasoning behind this? Is having a pilot brewery a complete waste of time? Is this why some micros end up with 15-20 different beers, because they are piloting at 20 barrels?
Any insight appreciated.
Thanks and Cheers,
Jeff
