So, I'm in the planning process right now. Ideally, I'd like to be starting my first batch by 8/1/2008 (but, I'm also realistic). At what point before opening did everyone start shopping equipment, brewers, etc? So far, I've been looking at real estate, have some money lined up, and have my business plan about 75% done (but not completely proofread and finalized).
I'd like to know about how far in advance is reasonable to start contacting suppliers, and probably a consultant, and have them take me seriously, yet, still give myself time to get everything done.
