I am in north Carolina. As far as i know, and have read in the requirements, breweries are exempt from health department requirements. I just got off the phone with them last week asking about washing glasses and they said as long as I'm not serving food, breweries are not required to follow health code policies, including the temperature/ procedure for drinking glasses.

Its very dependent on your county health department. I would say that in general, the TTB would not sign off on a brewery that was outdoors. You would need it to be at least having a roof overhead and a way to secure access to it, known requirements by the TTB for any tanks outside, you have to be able to secure it from people introducing contaminants, or stealing beer from it. As far as the health department is concerned, some try to meddle in your business and some dont. Ours didnt want to even see drawings. Nearby, they want to be all up in your shiz.

Do not look for legal advice from this forum.

The only brewery I've been in that used an exhaust hood was a nano that moved into an existing commercial kitchen where using the existing utilities was their best option. More typically you'd just vent the kettle stack.Sent from my Microsoft Bob

You will have to vent your combustion gasses and the steam from your kettle. They make condensers for the steam, so generally, you only need to have a flue for the combustion gas since you can use a condenser to deal with the steam. The type of flue will be determined by your mechanical code. If you have open burners like on a homebrew set up, that would be the only time that a captive hood would be required in most cases.
