I am working on a brewery in planning feasibility study, and would appreciate some guidance on equipment needed.
What other equipment would I need for a 3-5BBl brew brewery (probably steam) in addition to items listed below? The goal is to be taproom sales (75-100 seats)with limited distribution to start. List is exclusive of taproom equipment. There are so many things I want to make sure I am not missing anything I may need that would be a budget buster.
I am just looking at basics right now…will work on correct sizing as I progress. If you see anything missing, please let me know. A budget is obviously on my mind. I know that all breweries are different, but trying to keep form having any big “gotcha” items pop up.
Depending on budget, some of these things can be forgone initially and added after we make some sales.
current plan is for about 300-400BBL/ yr
We will probably just start with pitching dry yeast each batch until we get a yeast program going.
Grain storage (shelving maybe)
scale
Grain mill w/ hopper and motor
auger to mash tun for grains
grist case
grist hydrator
boiler and associated equipment
HLT size dependent on system
Acidification system?
brew house-probably skid mounted (all inclusive with pumps and piping, grain rake?)
2 stage heat exchanger (very high ground water temp)
on demand water heater (for cleaning) maybe some HLT duty
hot water rated hoses and sprayer nozzles for cleaning
pump cart w/ VFD
keg washer
kegs
keg filling manifold
cold storage for kegs
draft system-(6-8 taps)
flooring &floor drains
Glycol system (for FVs and 2 stage heat exchanger (one big one or 2 separate ones?) control panel, solenoids, pump, piping)
3-4 fermenters double batch sized
1 brite tank, planning to carb in brite then transfer to kegs for serving
Draft system. Goal is to have cold room on the opposite side of serving tap wall
RO system (area has pretty bad water)
RO storage tank (simple plastic water tank)
CO2 tanks and associated piping
Air compressor
Brewer hoses
Misc clamps spare parts
Oxygen system
CIP cart?
PH Meter
Pallet jack
