How big is your brewery?
In addition, it takes the same amount of time to brew in a larger brewing system. Therefore, a larger brewing system will bring you more money. The number of beer manufacturers we talked to is very large, and they said that they would want them to become bigger within 6 months after the opening of the new brewery. Therefore, when planning your brewery, it takes a lot of time to determine the required brewing system size. If possible, you should estimate the expected growth of the brewery business to ensure that the brewing system may be used for at least 5 years.
Where is the location of the brewery?
Contract brewery: The brewer will use your equipment to brew beer and pay you money. This type of brewery will not have its characteristics. However, this method is also a better way to make full use of the remaining capacity of the brewery.
Taproom: The taproom is a very good idea. It can not only help the brewery profit through direct on-site sales points but also provide an interesting place for locals. Whether it is a production brewery with an attached taproom or a dedicated beer taproom, you can hang out, socialize and make new friends. The taproom will provide you with a large number of loyal customers, you can quickly promote new products, and quickly get valuable feedback and suggestions for the future.
In today’s environment, it is difficult to see a brewery without a bar. Because it can help you get help financially, and it is also a place for you to have interesting communication with your customers. Therefore, finding a location on the edge of a busy area may be a good starting point. He will help you benefit from the huge passenger flow without paying large fees.
Where are you going to purchase your brewing equipment?
First of all, China’s raw materials (stainless steel) are cheaper than other countries, which has a relatively large impact on prices. In addition, the labor cost in China is also low, so the price of the equipment will be very cheap.
I know that some people will say that China’s products are of poor quality, poorly designed, and so on. But this can be avoided through good early communication, and we will discuss this part in depth later.
I said these are not to prevent you from buying equipment in other countries, but to provide a feasible direction for your brewery. In the case of a tight budget, you can consider trying to buy brewery equipment from China.
- Brewhouse (for example mash mixer, lauter, and brew kettle/whirlpool)
- Malt Mill
- Heat Exchanger
- Heating System
- Fermentation Tank
- Bright Beer Tanks (BBT’s)
- Glycol System for Beer Cooling
- Cold Water Tank (optional)
- Hot Water Tank
- Keg Cleaner
- CIP Unit (optional for smaller breweries)
- Movable pump
- Yeast Brink (optional)
- Beer Hose
- Control panels
- Cables and piping
- Packaging line (bottle or cans)
What container do you plan to put the beer in?
If you plan to pack beer into cans or bottles, cheap equipment may not be the best. Because cheap equipment may cause DO numbers to rise. DO stands for dissolved oxygen, the higher the number, the worse the beer. Oxygen will oxidize beer and produce a papery taste. For more information, please refer to the article “Guide to beer off-flavors: papery (oxidized)“.
For a smaller brewery, it will not be easy to find a packaging line that can provide dissolved oxygen in your budget. Please do research on the filling method of beer. If possible, you can ask what equipment other brewers are using for filling. Ask them what the DO level of their beer is. In a rational situation, the dissolved oxygen level in the can or bottle after packaging needs to be less than 50ppb, and less than 20ppb would be better.
Choosing a small filling production line is a very difficult thing. We asked about relevant content when choosing an automated filling production line for our customers, and their dissolved oxygen level exceeded 100ppb! This will seriously affect the shelf life of beer and shorten the shelf life of beer.
What type of brewery equipment do you want to buy? (Manual/automatic or between)
When ordering beer, brewers need to know exactly what products they get. If the difference between different batches is too great, the brewer is not willing to order your beer. Automation can help you minimize this occurrence.
When we are engaged in consulting work for brewery construction, I always recommend that they use automation for mashups and spend extra cash. In fact, using automated brewing only needs to press a button to enter how much water you need and the exact temperature, which will benefit your final product.
You can install an online flow meter between your lauter tun and your kettle, so you can know exactly how much wort you have collected. This is a good extra money use. The online flow meter can also tell you how many liters of wort are collected per minute, which is a huge help for filtration.
In addition, when the wort is collected from the whirlpool to the fermenting tank, the temperature of the wort can be set at the touch of a button, which is also a very cost-effective use.
In general, these are the 3 key areas where automation is most helpful. Of course, the initial investment cost of automated brewing will be higher. If your budget is tight, then look at the greatest benefits of automation and implement it where possible.
- Time-saving (up to only 20 minutes instead of 5-7 hours)
- Full automation (does the steps automatically)
- Less room for errors
- Automatic documentation
- Easy to tweak and perfect recipes
- Avoid waiting times
- Cleaning convenient
- Requires less labor
