Guys,
I'm finalizing my start-up spreadsheet for a 10bbl system, and I have a couple of ballpark questions to ask if people don't mind. Based on a whole bunch of factors, including ingredients, wages, insurance, utilities, rent, taxes and loans, I've figured out my average monthly expenses, estimating high when need be. I'm fairly firm on my monthly cost, but I'm not sure how much my income will be.
I'm assuming 2 brews a week to start at 10 bbl, with a standard 3% spillage loss. Since I'm in Virginia, I need to be selling to a distributor, so my question is about how much should I charge for a half keg? I was assuming 100-120, depending on the cost of the beer to produce, with specialty brews going much higher (and most likely only selling in sixtels). Is this a fairly safe assumption?
My other costs I've calculated (per month, or per bbl) are ~
Utilities - 294 / month
Rent - 2100 / month (small industrial space)
Ingredients - 52.3 / bbl OR 4200 / month
Taxes - 16 / bbl
Loans - 3000 / month
Salary - None (gonna eat it the first year)
I have more information if anyone feels my assumptions are goofy, so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
Thanks!
