How to develop the best brewery floor plan

When you decide to open a brewery, you will embark on a long and stressful journey. This journey will help you determine the best brewery floor plan for you, and of course, you may gain more information. Opening a brewery is not all a game, you need to plan, design and finally build the brewery.

Preparations for setup the brewery

Preparations for setup the brewery

In fact, you must consider and prepare some strategic and planning-related factors before you are ready to set up the brewery. Before you start experimenting with design, you need to consider many things. First, you need to talk to different breweries, friends, brewers, forums, and blogs to understand what preparations are needed to start a brewery.
You need to make sure that you have sufficient funds, a good working time frame, and contractors with experience in building breweries. The construction of a brewery is the same as other construction projects, there will always be unforeseen costs, so be sure to invest some additional funds for unforeseen costs. Of course, you also need to consider your space and feasible development arrangements.
What should be paid attention to when designing a brewery floor plan

What should be paid attention to when designing a brewery floor plan?

Efficient and well-designed brewery layout is very important to brewery safety and work efficiency. The brewery itself is a commercial space, and its steps should take into account the entry of materials and goods from the back of the brewery to ensure that it will not hinder customers who enter from the front of the brewery from drinking beer. The proper development of raw materials can increase productivity and save production costs, and can also prevent high-quality paying customers from facing heavy raw material dangers.
Careful inspection and determination of the internal dimensions of the brewery layout will ensure its effectiveness. In addition, the brewery equipment has key issues of height and width, and these issues must be considered when preparing the design of the brewery layout. Make sure you consider how your equipment will be transported and installed.
Here are some key points of how your brewery plan should be formulated:
  • Plan first, how to start building
  • Draw a scale map of your brewing space
  • Rehearse your brewery design many times, taking into account the application of every inch of the brewery you are building.
  • Determine the use position of the fixing device (wrench to sink)
  • Only keep the brewing equipment in the brewing area, don’t make your taproom too crowded
  • Prepare the brewery floor plan for the architect

Do various factors need to be considered when preparing the brewery floor plan, such as which type of floor to use? Flooring is an important plan that many winemakers often ignore because at first, they thought that the floor was just for decoration. In an active brewery brewing area, the floor must meet health and safety standards and must be able to withstand harsh environments. You can get tips in the “Requirements for the brewery floor” article.

Factors to consider in a brewery floor plan

  • Where to introduce the slope so that your drainage system can operate effectively
  • Water supply
  • Electricity supply
  • Grain bucket
  • Packaging and labeling area
Any area in the brewery should be able to place the equipment needed to move raw materials, such as forklifts or pallet trucks. Of course, you also need a door to each area to allow the brewery equipment to enter the brewery. When your brewery cannot meet the activities and transportation, you may need to re-plan the brewery.
Advantages of a good craft brewery layout

Advantages of a good craft brewery layout

When you are ready to open a craft brewery, you need to consider many factors, such as brewing technology, brewery equipment costs, and prices, the location of the brewery, licenses, and supervision by related departments. When choosing a location for a craft brewery, your brewery equipment manufacturer can provide you with useful suggestions.
In your opinion, what is the process of a successful craft brewery? What is the most important measure of success you expect from the brewery layout? If your answer revolves around maintaining quality through cleanliness, energy efficiency, and cost reduction, you may now be a craft brewer. Micet Craft is in the conversation with brewers who want to improve the production efficiency of the brewery. We found that the correct layout of the brewery can improve the production efficiency of the brewery by improving these three aspects.

Improved overall cleanliness

In the beer brewing process, you need to ensure that the brewery equipment is clean and pollution-free, which will save you time, money and improve the quality of beer. If you are currently in the design phase of the brewery layout, you need to build an easy-to-clean brewery in advance. Here are some tips that can improve the cleanliness of a brewery that you need to consider and incorporate into your layout design:
  • Discuss with your brewery equipment manufacturer how to best place equipment in each room and determine the best way to clean the inside of pipes and tanks.
  • A non-porous epoxy floor is required in craft breweries. Because the epoxy resin floor has an antibacterial layer on the surface, it only requires fewer chemicals and scrubbing to clean them, which is easy to clean.
  • Installing a clean-in-place system can greatly reduce the possibility of cross-contamination when operating brewery equipment.
You can communicate with the engineers of Micet Craft to create the cleanest possible brewery layout. For craft breweries, hygiene is the most important thing from start to finish. Only by maintaining hygiene can a consistent craft beer be brewed.

Energy efficiency has improved

A decade ago, energy conservation considerations were a cost-saving measure for craft breweries. Today, craft breweries have dual measures to save energy. Because energy use not only needs to be built around the environment but also the bottom line. A good and suitable craft brewery layout can play a very key role in saving energy components. Here are some examples:
  • Reducing the distance between different brewing steps means reducing the amount of pumping required. Less pumping means less energy is needed to complete the brewing, which also helps prevent the possibility of unexpected taste in beer quality.
  • The built-in heat recovery system facilitates the reuse of heat in the actual use of brewery equipment. You can recover heat through the pasteurization process, fermentation process, and other processes.
  • If your brewing equipment needs repairs, be prepared to replace replacement parts. This helps to speed up the re-run of the brewing process and reduce downtime.
Energy saving is essential in modern brewing processes. Most brewers and operators will plan the brewery design and improve energy efficiency while considering innovation. Effective energy-saving measures will reduce the long-term cost of your brewery. You can install solar panels on the roof to heat the water used in the brewing process. You can also use the infrastructure in the dam or tank to produce the electricity you need.

Cost savings

When preparing to open the brewery, you can save the general cost of the brewery by taking some measures when designing the production facilities. In essence, the benefit of well-planned brewery design and process management is the cumulative effect that will reduce costs over time. When producing your own return on investment expectation checklist, keep in mind some of these more easily identifiable methods:
  • If you place the CLT as close to the bar area as possible, the cost of cooling and insulating the beer production line will be much less.
  • You can save the cost of redesigning the layout of brewery equipment in advance by planning additional space in advance. When the production capacity of the brewery cannot meet the demand, additional equipment such as fermentation tanks can be purchased to increase production.
  • You can store and treat the filter barrel drain in the brewhouse area for later brewing and reduce water costs.
  • You can recycle waste beer and save costs by installing equipment to collect any beer spills in the filling area.
In general, the prerequisite to benefit from the design and layout of the brewery is that you know in advance what your goals are and try to find equipment and facilities that can meet your needs. In addition, you can also communicate with like-minded brewers to get their brewing experience. They have opened their own brewery, which will help you learn from any mistakes they have encountered and grow.
