Operations<\/h2>\n

Research and Development<\/h3>\n

Our R&D lab will develop a minimum of two products or line items a week for the first quarter,<\/p>\n

three products or line items the second, and four to five products or line items from the first year<\/p>\n

onward. Many of these may never make it to production but the process is necessary to maintain<\/p>\n

an innovative brewing culture, gain, and then maintain the market lead.<\/p>\n

Initially, we will invest a fairly low amount of capital into our R&D laboratory.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The first<\/p>\n

purchase will be two Zymatic automated brewing systems from PicoBrew. These systems are<\/p>\n

fairly inexpensive at $2000 a piece but enable the user to brew small batches, five gallons, in<\/p>\n

four hours by loading the system with ingredients and entering the recipe. Then the brewer can<\/p>\n

walk away and complete other tasks.<\/h3>\n

This will enable us to scale up only those recipes which show the most promise; minimizing our<\/p>\n

input cost since we won\u0092t brew full or even half batches which uses more raw materials.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Since<\/p>\n

our brewers won\u0092t need to stand over the machines to monitor the process, it will reduce the<\/p>\n

labor requirement for them and free them up to focus on revenue generating functions.<\/p>\n

Production<\/h2>\n

The process of producing beer takes, on average, two weeks from raw material input to final<\/p>\n

product packaging. We have agreements with an Atlanta Based Brewery to utilize their contacts<\/p>\n

and size to purchase raw materials at their price rates. Utilizing their influence within the<\/p>\n

industry, we will be able to mitigate obstacles associated with crop shortages, price increases,<\/p>\n

and shipping costs.<\/h2>\n

This will ensure we stay on schedule as demand increases so that we can keep to the two week<\/p>\n

production schedule. As we increase our operations, we will add in the specialty products which<\/p>\n

take longer to produce such as a barrel aged program, which increases time to packaging by<\/p>\n

approximately 3-6 months. A Sours program would fall into the same production schedule as a<\/p>\n

barrel aged program.<\/h2>\n

Personnel Needed<\/h2>\n

As of now, we are still looking for brewers. We have one candidate identified but have yet to<\/p>\n

make a final decision. Our primary candidate is a retired Navy officer who has been brewing, at<\/p>\n

home, large batches of 50 gallons or more, however, lacks training at the commercial level. We<\/p>\n

believe he would make a fantastic assistant brewer where he can hone his skills. If we are unable<\/p>\n

to identify a head brewer in the coming months, we will begin operations with our current<\/p>\n

candidate.<\/h2>\n
