I put together this page while a friend and I tried to open a small brewpub in Sun Prairie, WI. If you're interested in the early startup process (we made it to the financing stage), you can read about our experiences at the RePublic Brewpub weblog. This site, which I plan to continue updating, contains a bunch of brewing calculations, business planning tools, and educational presentations.

Several of the files are Excel spreadsheets. If their calculations return error values, you may need to do the following:

1. Select 'Tools' from the top menu bar.
2. Select 'Add-Ins'.
3. Check the box for 'Analysis ToolPak'.
4. Restart Excel.

Descriptions marked with asterisks indicate files that have not been tested in the real world.

If you'd like to learn more about nerdy brewing topics, check out the Five Gallons At A Time series I write for Madison Beer Review.
