A had a hobby fusion on the weekend...
As well as photography I whip up the odd home brew every now and then...

I was asked to shoot a brew day our club (The Canberra Brewers) had at a local haunt (the Wig and Pen)

Three of my favourites:

Richard the head brewer with his nice gadgets

This is know as a false bottom or manifold which allows the sweet wort (unfermented beer) to be drained off without the grain

Tap line up at the Wig

Some things I noticed:
It was a very tight environment, thank god it had a white roof as direct flash, even with the LS, was very harsh. Also the kit was not really wide enough, would have loved to use the 12-24 of FE on the day..

Holy crap, is that a "Randell the Enamel Animal"? Awesome.

yes... yes it is...

hoppy hop!

as soon as the first image loaded I thought "hey, that looks an awful lot like the W&P!"

Anyone visiting Canberra that enjoys a good ale should drop in and sample the brew. Highly recommended.

Good capture in #3, a 12-24 would have been handy
maybe you should make a "beer" gallery for your work - seems to be a fairly regular subject

hmm....

Make sure you try Ruby Smoooth when it goes on tap (estimated next friday 19/5)

I second,

Gotta love the Wig & Pen, always a great place to kick off a big night
