We're planning an expansion, but we have limited space where we are. There is a lot of space in the basement. We already have an elevator off the loading dock to get down there, and I know my equipment will fit.
The brewhouse will remain on the top floor (in view of the taproom) and most of the fermenters will move to the basement, along with more grain storage, bottling, and a cold room.
Does anyone have any experience with a two level brewery? Anything you've learned or would change? I'm thinking we install a stainless tube to get wort down from the brewhouse. Separate CIP for upstairs and downstairs. The fermenters would be directly under the brewhouse.
