Every order is put together upon purchase. We are truly in the business of helping you get the best water possible for the beer you&#8217;re going to be brewing. If you brew 2-gallon batches, or 8-gallon batches, or whatever the size or style, shoot an email our way and we will work with you to optimize your water profile. I started <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watersbrewer.com\/\">Waters Brewer<\/a> about 3 years ago, and we have been featured in Zymurgy magazine, the number one homebrewing magazine, and on the Barley and Me podcast and are continuing to grow and have visions of helping every homebrewer have the best possible water profile they can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watersbrewer.com\/\">Waters Brewer<\/a> was the first service of its kind in the market. I saw all these hop farms growing hops, yeast labs producing yeast, and maltsters making malt, but nothing for the last, usually forgotten, ingredient in beer, Water. So, I built a business around that to identify myself as <strong><em>the<\/em><\/strong> water chemistry expert for beer, and it shows now in the comments and questions I frequently receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/staging1.brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-1024x1022.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1756 lazyload\" width=\"447\" height=\"444\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 447px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 447\/444;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging1.brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-1024x1022.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1756\" width=\"447\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Keglet-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abrewersstory.com\/\">A Brewer\u2019s Story<\/a> is my personal blog that started with my crazy adventure where I did 4 months of backpacking across 29 cities in Europe looking for best place to start my own brewery.

I started the blog in November of 2017 and I\u2019m currently using it to share stories about my adventures in beer around the world.

I\ndecided I wanted to put my happiness first, and started to ask myself \u201cwhat\nmakes me happy?\u201d. I realized that&nbsp; beer makes\nme happy, and it just so happened that the guy who lived in my apartment before\nme left his homebrewing equipment behind when he moved to Cincinnati. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went to my LHBS and bought an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HNgav1\">extract kit<\/a>, and from that moment I was hooked on homebrewing. After 3 batches of extract I jumped right in to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UkZGA5\">all-grain brewing<\/a>. I still use the same brewing setup today.

I wasn\u2019t\ngetting any support and was working too much, so eventually I left and went to\nEurope, which was my first time ever leaving the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/staging1.brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-1024x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1760 lazyload\" width=\"428\" height=\"329\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-1024x788.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-768x591.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-600x462.jpg 600w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-180x138.jpg 180w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice.jpg 1190w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 428px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 428\/329;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging1.brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-1024x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1760\" width=\"428\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-1024x788.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-768x591.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-600x462.jpg 600w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice-180x138.jpg 180w, https:\/\/brewtogether.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Ty-Venice.jpg 1190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On that trip, I started <strong>A Brewer&#8217;s Story<\/strong> to document my adventures, and got patreons to help fund the trip a little. I brewed beer in 3 different countries in Europe and met many brewery owners, &nbsp;employees, and craft beer enthusiasts throughout my 4 months traveling through Europe. After returning to the United States I found out that Brew Your Own wrote a whole page article in the Sept. 2018 edition of their magazine for the beerscapades I went on in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After returning from Spain, I worked at Stone Brewery in Napa for where I\nlearned a lot about how a bigger corporate brewery is managed. I also got my\nhealth back in check, losing about 30 pound in 2 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided I wanted to start a brewery in Spain, so I wrote a 36-page business\nplan to start a 7bbl taproom\/brewery in Seville, Spain. That caught the attention\nof a few people who are now my investors, and they paid me a few grand to go\nback to Barcelona and do market research in Andorra. We decided not to pursue\nopening a brewery in Andorra, and are now considering opening in Barcelona. I\nam waiting to hear back from them right now about whether we are moving forward.\nI am planning to go to India for a month to get my yoga teacher certification\nand then move to Barcelona to focus on starting my brewery by combining my\nknowledge of beer, life, and yoga and transforming that in to an experience for\nall people to come enjoy good vibes and good beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there any other advice you would give to others who are\ninterested in starting a beer-related business?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I hope you like cleaning! Remember that it\u2019s\na long road to the top if your wanting to become a millionaire in the brewing\nindustry. Do as much as you can.\nDon\u2019t let the fear of criticism get in your way of doing anything. I started\nWaters Brewer after only having brewed for about 4 months at the time. People\nstarted coming to me for water chemistry advice as soon as one month after\nlaunching, and now, 3 years later, I am well known as the water chemistry expert\nfor brewing, which has boosted my professional definitely boosted my resume. I\nhave some ridiculously high ambitions for my future in the brewing industry.\nI\u2019ve only been in it for about 3 years and have already accomplished more than\nmost who have been in for 8 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My biggest piece of advice is to start <strong>now<\/strong> and start <strong>hard<\/strong>.\nGain as much knowledge and attention as possible all while documenting the\nprocess and providing as much value to other brewers as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huge thanks to Ty for doing this interview!
