How easy is it to start your own microbrewery?

Opening a microbrewery requires much more than a deep love of craft beer. It also requires significant financial investment and patience. But craft brewing is one of the fastest growing industries you can join. Since 2007, the number of micro-brewed barrels in the U.S. has almost doubled from 8 million to 15 million. If brewing excellent craft beer is your passion, then you can make your business dreams become a reality.

Our company, Shandong Grain Machinery Co., Ltd, as a professional brewery equipment manufacturer, we would like to provide some proposals on the choice of equipment for your conference.



1.Get the right equipment

Microbrewing requires a significant amount of equipment, although you can buy most of it ready to use. Our company can supply each piece for every system (mashing, fermentation, cooling, cleaning, packaging) that you will need. You can also find better deals on used equipment on some sites rather than spending more on brand new pieces. You will generally need the following pieces of machinery:
Kettles
Kegs
Boilers
Brewhouse
Fermentation tanks
Storage tanks
Refrigeration equipment and ice liquid tank
Cleaning equipment
Filter tank and pump
Canning and bottling equipment

Consider the scalability of your space for your equipment. If your microbrewery is successful, will you have the space to put in additional tanks to serve more customers?
PS: Our equipment pass the CE certificate for low pressure, Machine as well as the pressure equipment. And also our management is conformed to GB-T19001-2008-ISO9001: 2008 to ensure the quality.



2.Renovate your location

You might be leasing a space, buying a former business, or building a new one from the ground up. Either way, you should have a team of high quality contractors and designers to help you create the best space for your customers.
Here are a few of important points but very easy to be overlooked.
a).Ensure you have proper ventilation. Breweries run on steam, so you have to ensure that your space can be properly ventilated and that it is also tall enough to accommodate large tanks.

b).Create a proper drainage system. Brewing on location will require very strong plumbing and a drainage system that can accommodate hundreds of gallons of beer. You should budget for a complete renovation of the current plumbing system in your location.

c).Invest in high quality flooring. This might be an easy detail to overlook, but your floors will suffer a lot of wear and tear from spilt beer. Make sure that you have a high composite floor that can withstand the acidic content of beer and not easy to hide the bacteria.

In a word, from an early-stage idea to several thousands beer successfully brewed, there are a lot of details and notices need to be done. We can supply you professional service includes building unique record, assisting every customer, consulting freely, inspecting and maintaining regularly and so on.
