Brewer Helper
Brewery · Full-time, hourly; weekday production, early (6am) starts · Delray Beach, FL
This is the hands-on, entry-level production job that keeps our Core Four flowing — early mornings on the brew deck and in the cellar, right alongside our head brewer. No professional brewery experience required — homebrewers welcome.
What you'll do
- Prep the brewhouse before the day starts — hoses connected, valves lined up, CIP chemicals staged, floors clean before the first mash-in.
- Assist on brew days: milling grain, mashing in, transferring wort, cleaning the mash tun and kettle between batches.
- Run cellar work: tank-to-tank transfers, dry-hop additions, yeast harvesting, gravity and pH checks under the brewer's direction.
- Clean and sanitize tanks, hoses, fittings, floors, and drains — it's most of the job, and it's the reason our beer tastes like our beer.
- Help on canning and kegging runs, and move grain bags, kegs, cans, and hop boxes from delivery to storage to production.
- Log batch numbers, gravities, and temps accurately on our brew sheets.
What we need
- 21 or older — we're a brewery, and ours is a 21+ workplace.
- Reliable transportation to Delray Beach for early-morning shifts (starts can be as early as 6 AM).
- Able to safely lift 55 lbs repeatedly and stand or walk on wet concrete for an 8–10 hour shift.
- Comfortable working around hot liquid, cleaning chemicals, CO2, and confined spaces — we train you.
- Shows up on time every shift, takes direction, asks questions, and follows a written SOP.
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S.
Pay
$16–$19/hr, full-time, hourly — final rate based on experience.
