Designing Your Own Professional Craft Brewery Program


 
Each brewery is the brewery’s production and innovation hall. Breweries are the heart of the beer brewing industry. It has many complex systems and operations that must be vigilant and safe at all times. The journey to the best craft breweries and brewing teams is tough. The love and learning about craft beer needs to be maintained at all times. The size of your brewing system, available space, beer flavor, heating time, etc. all have an immeasurable impact on your final product.
 
When choosing a brewery, you first need to learn relevant brewing knowledge to determine the brewery's output and other processes. Most brewery equipment manufacturers can help you, but you'll need to provide them with the specific output of your equipment.
 
Excellent beer equipment manufacturers will provide different brewery designs for customers in different regions. German breweries prefer to design their breweries to be suitable for brewing German beers. American breweries may prefer stronger beers and use higher hops. You'll need to calculate your lauter keg load, determine the range of beers you want to brew, and whether you need to brew 24/7, which will affect the size of your brewery.
 
Additionally, you will need to visit some operating craft breweries to discuss the project management process and commissioning process with them. Most craft brewers are happy to share their experiences. Is it easy to work with suppliers? Is the delivery on time? What support is provided during commissioning? How is the quality of brewery equipment? Ultimately, the selection process for most breweries will be highly dependent on the professionalism of the supplier, and the opinions and experience of breweries who have worked with the supplier will greatly aid your decision.
 
Almost all craft breweries underestimate growth, so it’s best to opt for expandable brewery equipment.
Size: How much capacity do you want your new brewery to have? What is your expected growth rate? Are you considering double shift brewing? Brewery capacity is determined by batch capacity and the number of brews per 24 hours. Up to 12 batches of beer can be brewed per day using automated brewing equipment.
Flexibility: Look for a scalable brewing system. What level of automation is required? Will it be easy to add and integrate new brewing vessels in the future?
 
Brewery design is closely related to your brewing process. A good brewery equipment manufacturer will tailor the equipment to your brewing process to meet your brewing requirements. No matter how big your brewery is, doing research and systems thinking will ensure you have the best system for your brewing needs.
