Frequently asked questions

Cant find what you need? Send us a note.

How much does the Hard Knocks membership cost?

$6.49 per month, or $69.49 per year (about two months free). Your first 30 days are free on either plan. We do not charge until day 31.

What does my membership unlock?

All 95 recipes -- the 48 members-only deep dives plus the 47 free recipes. You also get printable recipe cards, shopping lists scaled to your serving size, and our members-only journal essays.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, from your account page in two clicks. If you cancel before day 30, you are not charged anything. If you cancel later, you keep access for the rest of the billing period.

Do you offer a refund?

Yes -- a 30-day no-questions money-back guarantee on the membership. If we are not earning the $6.49, email us within 30 days of your charge and we will refund it.

Do I need an account to read free recipes?

No. The 47 free recipes are open to anyone with the link. Members get the rest.

Where do you ship store orders?

Anywhere in the 50 US states. Shipping is free over $75 (or $40 for annual members). We ship within 48 hours from our warehouse in Florida.

What is your return policy?

Any item in our store can be returned within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked. We pay return shipping for damaged or defective items.

How are recipes tested?

Every recipe is cooked at least three times in our test kitchen by at least two different cooks. If something is inconsistent, it does not go up.

Why do you not have any social channels?

Because the recipes live here, the journal lives here, and the membership pays for it. Building an audience on a third-party platform means working for that platform. We would rather work for our members.

Can I gift a membership?

Yes -- email us at info@hardknocksbrewing.com for a gift code. We will send you a beautifully laid out PDF you can print or forward.

Do you have a mobile app?

Not yet. Our website is built to work great on phone browsers, and we add to it constantly. An app is on the roadmap for 2027.

Are nutrition facts included?

For most recipes, yes -- but they are estimates and should not be used for medical decisions. We are cooks, not dietitians. See our disclaimer for details.

Do recipes have video?

Some do, more are coming. Most of our recipes are designed to read fast and cook well; the writing is the product.

Where is the brewery?

4855 S Hammock Road, Zolfo Springs, FL 33890. Tours are by appointment -- email us if you want to come visit.
