I am opening a brewpub and am going back and forth on how many primary fermenters vs brite/conditioning tanks I will need. I do not want to operate like a normal brewpub, serving out of serving tanks, due to Georgia laws and regulations. I am going to keg everything. I would like to keg all my product due to cost and space. I factor I can purchase about 25 kegs for the price of 1 3.5bbl brite tank. (labor is less an issue than space) I can increase selection on tap when I push beer through a brite tank, is my thought.
I understand how many brite tanks to have when I am using them as a serving tank, 1+ per style on draft. However, beer will only sit in a brite tank if it is being transfered into kegs for a few days, right? So, then ideally I will want more primaries than brites? If I start with 4 primary FVs and 2 brite tanks, I should be able to do about 6 batches in about 18-21 days, correct? Thank you for any input and advice on this.
