Help on estimating utilities and insurance for startup 7BBL

[ahammonds]

Hello,
Two questions:
We're putting our financials together for our startup and I have no idea how much to estimate for utilities and insurance (liability, business, etc.).

Can anyone help with some estimations on utilities (water, electricity) for a 7BBL brewery? We don't know exact building square footage yet either, so I know this is going to be a VERY loose estimate.

And business, liability and any kind of insurance you may have. I'm looking for monthly payments to put in my cash flow document.

Any help with numbers and feedback on any of this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anna

Water 6 – 8 BBL’s water/bbl beer produced
Refrigeration 10 – 20 BTU chiller capacity/bbl yearly capacity
Direct Fired Brew Kettle 25,000 30,000 BTU/bbl Cast Wort

Cheers,
