Brewery
A year on the brewhouse floor.
What it is
I ran a brewery for 13 years, so I asked an AI to build one and make me want to watch it. This is Ninebark: six fermenters, a canning line, a barrel room, a forklift, three people, and a notebook that explains every decision as it is made. The room changes with the seasons. There is a pumpkin in October.
How it works
Press play and let a year go by. Read the notebook to see why it brewed what it brewed and when it ran out of something.
- One prompt, no edits, exactly as the model handed it over
- Real tank times and a depletion model driving every brew decision
