Hi all, I searched the forum and did not find too much that related to my brewery sizing. I am bumping up from a 2 bbl to a 10 bbl brewery and am trying to determine what size of a walk in cooler we need. This is our goal...
1,000 bbl a year production
70% in-house and 30% dist as kegs
4 unit tanks (ferment and condition only) and 4 serving tanks (all glycol chilled, not stored in cooler)
We want 8-10 beers on tap at a time, that means 4-6 batches in kegs (40-60bbls or 80-120 kegs)
We also need space for hops and some yeast strains that we are keeping cold for future use
Is it crazy to have that many kegs sitting in a cooler? We plan on getting more glycoled serving tanks in the future but will start with just 4. Any ideas?
I was thinking roughly 350 sq ft. Overkill?
The sketch would allow for 140 kegs and space for hops/yeast
