I'm starting a small nanobrewery with a 2bbl system. We will have single-walled Stout tanks (conicals) for fermenting, and we'll also have single-walled brite tanks in a cold room for serving. We do not plan on filtering our beer, and we'll be brewing all ales at first. Fermenters will obviously be kept at ale temperatures (65-68 degrees F). Carbonation will take place in the brite tanks via carbonation stones.
What would most of you suggest for time in the fermenters? Ten days? Two weeks? More? Less? When should the yeast be dumped?
After transferring from FV's to brite tanks, approximately how long should we wait before carbonating and serving? The cold temps will help the yeast drop out, so we'll obviously need to dump the yeast from the brites a couple of times, but I'm unclear about when we should start carbonating/serving.
Any thoughts on the best process for our situation would be appreciated. Sorry if my questions seem "amateur."
