    My micro brewery dream

    Hi WitWonder! I'd have to say that I'm pretty lucky being born and bred in Albany and then deciding to start the brewery. Albany being a small city (~33,000 people) its still like a large town. I know a lot of great people and we have had a lot of help from local business, friends and family...

    My micro brewery dream

    Hi Killer Brew! So I ran an online competition initially to do my logo design as I couldn't get a decent price within WA ( Graphic design quotes where anywhere from $5-10K!! ) and I couldn't justify that kind of money for start up. I love to support local but somethings you have to make a call...

    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    Yep get that gear in a couple of enclosures, or a large one and you'll be on your way. You can probably find that gear cheaper (ebay etc) but Auber gear has a good name. You should able to get a wiring diagram pretty easy from the google webs. Cheers. Matty.

    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    Thanks chrisluki and Mardoo, I'd have to be stupid to not listen to guys who have worked in the beer retail sector. I appreciate your feedback and advice. I've gone back to work with our designer and we've come up with an addition to the original design that looks awesome and places the beer...
