I am currently a homebrewer and by fall of 2011 will have started a brewery here in my area. Yes I will follow the path that many of you followed starting from home. While I don't have all the experience in working with commercial equipment I will learn the ropes as many others have too. I have been reading about different commercial brewing aspects and this one has currently come to mind.
What is the general time length that it takes to carbonate a batch of beer when using a carb stone and brite tank? I have read anywhere from hours to a few days. Of course I currently am force carbing corny 5 gallon kegs. I understand that on a commercial level you use a carb stone and carb from the bottom of the tank. What is the average or ballpark timeframe to carb a batch. For a reference our intended volume will be 10BBL and say a carb level of 2.5 volumes C02.
Thanks,
Mike
