Cape Town Hammer ⚒️ @sjh66.bsky.social · Nov 22
I've created Breweries Started Pack for anyone interested in such things. It also includes my "The Brewery Social" feed for all posts relating to breweries. If you know of other breweries hiding on the outskirts on Bluesky please let me know and I will update the pack regularly.

Wort transferred to fermentation vessel, volume topped up to 20 litres and activated yeast pitched. Now wait for 2 weeks for beer to be produced (hopefully) #HomeBrew #brewsky #beer 🙏🤞

I worked as part of the technical support team analyzing the proposals submitted for a previous incarnation of this work back in 1989. As part of the project I ended up going on a army comms exercise in West Germany to observe the current comms in use. I hope things have improved since then.
