Of course, there’s a beer analogy.

#apireligion

(maybe the only thing older than the telco industry)

#apireligion

Beer started pure... New, non-

corporate brewers are now

changing the game

Then it commoditized

#apireligion

"It's like Silicon Valley right now, or

Florence during the Renaissance.”

Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Co., the largest craft brewer in the U.S.

Then wireless. Then voice disappeared.

Then the phone itself literally took a back seat.

#apireligion

Like the big brewers, the phone companies were pushing commoditized product.

#apireligion

And that gave opportunity to “craft” telcos:

And, like the big brewers, telcos are started to realize they need to move faster, be more “craft”-like.

THE EQUIPMENT

Beer is made from 4 basic ingredients:barley, water, hops and yeast.

Most items can be purchased at your local homebrew store

THE INGREDIENTS

THE BASIC PROCESS

Fermenter, usually a food-grade plastic bucket with a tight-!tting lid (more experienced brewers may use a glass carboy)

Air lock and stopper to allow carbon dioxide to escape during fermentation while keeping air out

Thermometer Racking cane & tubing for transferring beer from one vessel to another Bottles, about 50 12-oz. bottles for each 5-gallon batch, new or reused Bottle !ller to transfer beer into bottles

Bottle capper, a device that clamps bottle caps on bottles Sanitizing agent & bottle-cleaning brush Kitchen supplies—a stove, large pot, cooking spoon, strainer, measuring cup, can opener, and a cup or bowl

The most important step. Nothing can spoil a batch of beer faster than stray bacteria.

Steep grains in hot (but not boiling) water to make wort, a sweet liquid that's basically unfermented beer.

Bring wort to a rolling boil and add hops—the "ower of the hop plant that gives the beer "avor—according to the recipe.

Chill wort and transfer to fermenter. Pitch yeast. Store beer away from sunlight and wait one to several weeks, depending on the recipe.

You now have beer! But it's "at beer. In order to carbonate it, you must prime it with additional fermentable sugars and bottle it. Then wait at least two weeks.
