Sir, this is a modern brewery. We measure volume in beer barrels. One of which is equal to 31 US gallons or 36 imperial gallons in the UK. It's very simple...

I would absolutely struggle working in brewing in the states. We work in litres and hectolitres, metres and millimetres, grams and kilograms, and everything is easy.
It was a trip working in Canada in my old industry and suddenly cables were in feet, not metres. Except when they weren’t. Just metric everything, imo


Also I cannot stop reading bbl as “bubble”.

Grab the bullshit by the horns

It drives me nuts too to see 4.6e^-5 gallons/minute but yes, that is how our software puts it. If it’s any consolation, buyers can change it.

Edit: and yes, it doesn’t change to ml, units are set per fluid and don’t change.

Had a meeting today, got some clarifications on stuff. End of production on the SMD lines is probably gonna be end of Feb/beginning of March, end of production at wave solder will probably be within days of that. Not expecting to still be employed by my birthday (4/14).

Plant director pulled me aside after the meeting to confirm my hire date with me (I'm the only person on staff who's worked there under 5 years). Once that was confirmed he told me they're going to treat me as if I'm fully vested in my 401 and pay me the full amount they owe me on match since I'll never be more than 3.5/5 years, which was something I wanted to talk to him about at some point. They're gonna pay 3 months of COBRA for all of us, too.

I'm pretty bummed out, this is the best job I've ever had, the benefits package was sweet (grandfathered in to paying $14/check for health insurance lol, everyone who left early immediately regretted it when they got a new job and did their 90 days because of that, specifically), and I'm gonna miss pointing out our poo poo on TV and going, "yeah I made all the circuit boards in that because my plant is the only one in the world that manufactures that product line."

Shed a tear for us when/if you watch the halftime show next year.

I don't know. The problem with doing anything other than beer basically is that it's a different license. I can technically make cider, seltzer, or mead, but it needs to include a certain percentage of malt.

A machine moves between multiple teams and shifts over days, and if I squirrel away the caps I may not be present when they are finally needed, and I won't know in advance who to give them to. People do remove the caps then put them in bags secured to the machines, but people just steal the caps from those too.

I kept thinking about this, and I'm wondering if there's a common work area for every shift/team, and if so, why don't you:

1. have a "cap bin" in that area, and when you receive the machines to build, all the caps go in there. People are stealing caps from other machines, so I'm assuming that the caps aren't tied to a specific machine, ie, they are fungible in that regard

2. the machine is built, capless

3. before shipping, someone grabs a cap from the cap bin and stick it in the finished machine. Since all the caps correspond to one machine, and they aren't lost/destroyed in the bin, then the number of caps should always match.

Oh. Duh. Yeah. It's kind of the issue I have. Hard seltzer also doesn't really make sense here. In the US it makes sense because it's like a weird tax loophole. It especially made sense before canned cocktails became legal ly available for sale. Here the tax on our fermented hard seltzer is going to be pretty high and canned cocktails, most very similar to hard seltzer have been available forever.

Some breweries have done it here with some success I guess. A former boss makes it but it's apparently pretty bad.

Oh ho we manufacture for the global market so everything is done in mL but because of the government we also have to report everything in gallons for tax purposes.

Regular imperial gallons? Oh no, my friend, you're going to report that rum in wine gallons.
