Hi guys,
I am looking to start a microbrewery in India. I am in two minds with respect to purchasing new equipment. If I fabricate the whole brewhouse and FVs from a local fabricator (who has no idea about brewing) I'll save quite a few bucks but it will involve me working closely with the fabricator - I'll have to refer to Kunze, Bamforth etc. to come up with the design and there's a good chance that the final product isn't foolproof. On the other hand, if I buy the equipment from a trustworthy vendor, I'll end up paying much more but at the end of the day I can be assured that the kit works fine.
Do you think it is wise to save on the capex and fabricate my own equipment or pay more and get the brewery running smoothly without any equipment related issues?
