OCUK brewery

I haven't brewed for nearly a year now. I might be moving this year though, so hopefully I'll upgrade from 25 litres to 50 litres :)

The costs for setting up a brewery are absolutely eye-watering.

But if it's a home brewery in someone's shed or something, and everyone pitches in, then it would actually work out fairly cheap :)

Not really, get second hand equipment/make some of it yourself. The brewery I used to work for started off with £80,000 and are now turning over millions a few years later. It's true, starting off you'll be doing a lot of your work yourself (filling bottles manually, for example) but if you don't have the money and want to do it is possible to set up a commercial brewery for less than £100,000.

Nah, that's covered by me. ;)
 
Would we not be better off just doing a bottle exchange? I mean it's all well and fine if a few of you guys live close together, but it's hard enough sorting out an OcUK meet let alone brewing stuff!
 
Paulstat: your Ruby and Sapphire beers look excellent.

This is what I'm talking about. I think we need to brew six different beers (240 pints) at a time and then 6 weeks later all get together for an ocuk "beer festival".

Problems:
brewing in one location
venue for booze up...I mean festival
getting contributions for cost and people to help out in the initial brewing stage.
Any recommendations or thoughts - is this a silly idea?
