Alternatively you could write a successful light novel "So I'm a brewer, so what?" about someone who dies and is reincarnated in another world as a brewer and their brewing skills are OP and they end up being able to brew beer that can save the world from some unspecified evil
You could follow it up with "That time I got reincarnated as a brewer" and "Ascendance of a brewer", and then write the screenplay for critically acclaimed series "The Brewery" about an idiot brewery manager and the staff that have to put up with them

Just had a meeting with my boss. Near the end he asked if I could make wine. I mean, yeah, I guess I could. Can't promise it'll be any good though. This place is so cheap they still haven't replaced my broken pH meter and they keep trying to run this brewery well beyond our capacity but I guess a winery is a good idea?

Can you even use the same equipment? I know some wineries also make cider, but I've never heard of a place that makes both beer and wine. I imagine you'd need a whole separate fermentation setup.

Hey EFN since you're in the general business of fermentation now, why not make soy sauce too

Can you even use the same equipment? I know some wineries also make cider, but I've never heard of a place that makes both beer and wine. I imagine you'd need a whole separate fermentation setup.
Places usually make cider and wine because it's the same license. As MFP mentioned there's also the concern of cross contamination. Beyond that, bottling wine and bottling beer are completely different processes, apparently. I'm not sure you could even legally use brewery equipment for wine, even if you wanted to. I'm pretty sure that using the same fermentation vessels for beer and wine would get you in a lot of trouble and getting the same equipment licensed for both would be impossible. That said, even if it were possible, I don't want to tie up even one of only six FVs for half a year or more on what would be, at best, a mediocre product I'm not sure anyone would be interested in. Beyond that there's the issue of sourcing grape juice meant for winemaking, which is going to be different from grape juice for drinking. That'd be an issue in a country that produces very little domestic wine, even without current supply chain issues caused by the global pandemic and now a major war in Europe. The only real option is juice concentrate. It just sounds like a nightmare.
This from the company that has taken months to replace my cheap pH meter. Apparently, winery equipment is a fair bit more expensive. With how much they keep overextending our volume, I kind of think maybe building a larger facility and transferring over our happoshu license would be cheaper, even if we brewed on that license while applying for a beer license. A wine license seems even more complicated.
I told my boss if they went ahead they should hire a vitner and he said okay. If he's lying, that's fine. This company takes forever to get anything done. It took this place three years to get their license. I'm sure before they even committed to building this brewery it was at least a year of meetings and document stamping, if not more. I'd be shocked if a decision is made to move forward on this by the end of this year, or even a year from now. Then, after the decision is made, they'd still need to find a suitable location, build or refurbish a building, buy and set up equipment, apply for a license, etc. Of course, there's the chance this languishes forever/goes nowhere. I guess my boss noticed there was a huge uptick in wineries being built here "post" COVID, which is what my former coworker who now sells winemaking equipment told me. So it may just be a "Look into business thing!" situation. I would advise against it but it's not my money and I'll likely be gone well before anything comes of it.

Thank you, Client, for cancelling our 4:30pm meeting. I just wish you had bothered to tell me it was cancelled instead of ghosting.

Doing a work survey. One of the questions asks "What's something you always wanted to do to make one of our customers feel good, but never had the ability to do because you felt it would not be acceptable or allowed?"
Oral sex? Are they talking about oral sex? I'm confused.
Edit - I should make it clear that I have never desired to perform oral sex on a customer in order to make them feel good, or for any other reason (although technically I have performed oral sex on a customer, though we were dating at the time and the exchange was not done within the context of customer service.)

So it seems like laying out and having meetings about the production schedule has worked pretty well so far. My bosses have been referring to the one I've layed out for future beers and are seemingly more actively planning ahead. Hopefully this works!

Yeah, my boss has referred to my production schedule in our last two meetings to check openings for certain beers and stuff. It helped me understand things better too. Here's to hoping!

I have to go in every day and it is really stressing me out. I wonder if this is similar to the stressed out feeling some folks got when they had to quarantine.
