My name is Mark Brooks and I live in Norway with my wife, Trine, and our daughter. My homebrew dream was to have an all-food-grade, stainless-steel brewery with that magic 1,000-liter (264-gallon) capacity. I started calling different companies that sell brewery stuff,  but soon realized that this would take an investment much larger than any hobby brewer could even dream of. So I started roaming dumps, dairy plants and other factories in the food-production business to scrounge for used or outdated materials. In this way, my stock of stainless grew and grew. When I told people that I was building a small countryside brewery, they all got interested. I don’t know how much beer I promised to  guys in the food industry all over Norway. I do know that I am sending out beer steadily. Getting all my valuables here also took a lot of beer-bribing in the trucking industry, but as long it’s about beer they’re all helpful.
