[geoff_tewierik]

Currently Senior QC Microbiologist for a pharmaceutical company (work with yeast). Used to work in research for a Veterinary Pharmaceutical (worked with yeast), and prior to that 8 years in hospitality (sold beer - made from yeast ).

Did the degree Monash Gippy - did it because it was that or go on the dole thanks to how Jeff Kennet screwed over the power industry where I was destined to work - main local employer and all my relos worked there. Always thought - well I like beer, and I'm good at science, so if I do a degree in microbiology maybe someday I can become a brewer And with Grande Ridge Brewery nearby, there was some sort of inspiration. Said yes to my current employer the same day I had an interview with CUB at Yatala prior to them expanding. Wonder what might have happened if I said no and went to the interview

Cheers,

GT

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Spend my days (and nights and afternoons) making astonishingly large quantities of really high quality, super consistent beer .... most of which I don't like very much.

I'd love to say I'm a brewer - but in reality I basically do up the wheel nuts on the wort as its heading from the whirlpool to the fermentor. The brewers are the guys who interfere while the rest of us try to get on with making the beer.

Unlike the other guys on here who work for (large) breweries, I do get free beer. I usually give it away or swap it for beer I like better.

I mega-brew for a living; and I craft-brew for pleasure --- Life is good

Employed as a cellarhand working with all types of wierd and wonderfull wine. With what I have learnt in the wine industry it makes it a lot easier to understand and apply some of the principles in the brewing process. Filtering,additives, and all that other wierd stuff.

Hi all,
thought I would bump this thread as it is interesting to see the diverse jobs that home brewers do
I am sure that there have been many changes in occupations since 2007.
Hopefully less bloody IT people
Cheers

Love these IT guys, the ones who use obscure programming languages like Haskell to tweak their electronic controllers in their robotic-arm dunk sparge nuke-powered setups. On the other hand the unemployed ones are probably strictly kit n 2kilos <_<

Also, up the page, since he posted above, TB has now progressed to being a brewer ! onya.
