My family is opening a small brewpub next year. Its been decided that Im the one who needs to learn the ropes for the brewery. We have all the issues worked out, well everything except where Im going to go to learn how to run this small brewery. I've been an avid homebrewer since 1998, and for the past year Ive kicked it into full gear, trying to gain as much experience as possible, and most of the time brewing twice a week. And with as much as Im learning and know from homebrewing, I know it's not enough.
Now being that I really would rather not leave the wife and kids for 6 months to a year for school, heres my question. I have an inside connection from family who know the head brewers at a succesful brewery here in state. They are pretty sure I would be able to volunteer full time for 3 months this fall. Would spending 10+ hours a day, every day for three months learning the ins and outs be enough? Or do you think I am just going to have to break down and go to school?
Thanks in advance.
