How's it going?
So, I've been running a successful nano-brewery operation for a little over a year, and am trying to expand capacity, and move into a bigger space.
I've found this property for sale, that as it is progressing, seems that it will get a green light to operate (with zoning and board approval). The space is going to need some upgrades (no drainage, need to lay cement over half the floor, and water coming out of a well - thinking of a reverse osmosis system).
Now here's the question - the space is a pole barn built in 1976. It's basically an 1800 square foot structure that is clad in corrugated steel for the walls and roof, with a wooden frame interior with beams that do not look to have been treated and left to age over the years. It looks old and dusty in there, and with the exposed beams...... I'm wondering if anybody on the forum would view this as an unsuitable environment to brew in (or more specifically, to ferment in).
In general, I have a 'push it through and make it happen' attitude, but sometimes it backfires. The nano-brewery all worked out fine, even though I pulled some less than conventional angles. This is quite a larger investment - so I'm curious if you all have any opinions either way. I will take any feedback, positive or negative. Again, good sized space, good price, but with the exposed wooden frame holding the walls and roof up.
