Mkyle,
I am in the middle of building a 3 bbl brewery and things are going pretty well because I put a lot of time into planning.
My only advise to you is to plan EVERYTHING out first. Work your way back from the legal fees, permits, and cost to make your facility compliant with local codes. From there, its easy to price equipment and figure out a rough cost to start.
If you want to start small, do it with disposable money. That way, if you fail, no problem. Just remember that the final cost you come to, will most likely be underbudgeted at the end with all of the fun supprises, so make sure you have a margin.
Don't let negative comments get you down. Only you know if its feasible to start a brewery. Worst case is that you lose a lot of money. Thats much better than looking back far from now and wishing you just took a stab at it. If people just followed the disbelief of others, this country would have nothing to be proud of.
Take everyone's advice, be it positive or negative and use it to your advantage. Create a plan and just do it.
Starting a brewery is the most glorious pain in the ass, but it's worth every moment.
Good luck.
