Evening all
Just signed a lease on the building for my new brewery, and something which I know will need attention is the floor. I have about 500sqft available for the brew house itself at this time and I'm looking to put in a trench drain from the get go.
Couple of questions:
Would it be sensible to put one long drain down the center line of the brew house (sloping the concrete accordingly), or would it be better to put a row of drain along the front face of the brew system, with another row of drain in front of the three compartment sink (which will also serve as the keg washing/bottle filling stand) I.e. one large drain for everything, or smaller ones at point of use?
This location will never be big enough to accommodate a forklift to move anything around so weight considerations for moving pallets of grain etc over the drain are not an issue. Also planning on cutting the slab ourselves and just using a local plumber to tie the trench drain into the sanitary sewer.
Anyone have any experience with a municipality requiring a grease trap for a brewery? Seems like I don't do anything involving grease so I shouldn't really need one, but I have a feeling I may be in for an uphill battle with the town on this topcic
