Just when I think we are going to get our building permit for our brewpub the city throws me a curve ball. They want all my brewing equipment to be listed by the NSF or other type agency. Has anyone else encountered this? Is everyones systems listed by the NSF? I feel like I might be screwed here...any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Case Closed!
I was able to argue with the plans examiner that no brewery in the state had ever heard of needing the NSF stamp. He in turned called the state plumbing inspector and settled on installing a back flow device on the brewing system. Kinda wierd...I guess you just need to be cool and educate the city departments!

Originally posted by uabericmSorry to revive an old thread, but my city inspection department is requiring my kettle to be UL / ETL...etc listed and I was wondering if anyone had any advice.
If you'd like to email me I can give you further details about the specific situation if your kettle is a new direct fire from a "certain" chinese manufacturer....

I know this won't help you at all since you are starting a Brew Pub, But since I started a brewery I decided to put it in the middle of nowhere (In the Big Thicket at the end of a dirt road). The closest town is 7 miles away, they are in a different county and they are not even incorporated. The odds of being annexed is slim and none, and if they did, I would move the brewery. City inspectors are not in our business plan!Last edited by johnnymax; 08-05-2012, 10:05 PM.John McKissack
