First Cryptic Crossword

There has been a bit of a focus here on my brewing operations recently, but I'm still crosswording. See what I did today. A first step on the journey for another goal - to become a crossword setter. My first go is the same grid size and (I hope) style of a Times Quick Cryptic and has a theme reflecting recent activities (thanks Joyce for pointing that out).

Answers to follow in another post. Meanwhile, feedback from my first test solver is that it is harder than I thought. What do you think?
