[Fred Scheer]

God Morning in the Forumland:

Some time ago I saw a post that had specific energy requirement data
attached. Don't know the name tec, sorry

Can someone sent me specific data; water usage, effluent; electricity
etc?

I would appreciate it.

Here is some info from Sound Brew I am not sure how old it is but here is a good jumping off point.

Energy Use:

Brewpubs:
Electrical: 10-15 KWH/BBL
Chiller: 8-20 BTU /BBL
Natural gas: 1.3 therms/BBL

Ingredients (averages for all malt beers):

Water usage: 3.0-7.0 BBL per BBL of beer sold
Malt: 45-60 #/BBL
Hops: 0.5-0.8 #/BBL

Water Usage Breakdown for Pub Breweries:

Usage & output per 10 BBL, average (pub brewery)
10 BBL in product
12 BBL Cooling-reclaimed
1 BBL Evaporated
2.5 BBL With spent grain
8.5 BBL To sewer
33 bbl TOTAL

Effluent (Average for Pub Breweries):

BOD mg/L 600-1200
COD mg/L 800-1600
TSS mg/L 250-500
pH 5.5-6.5
