Good luck! I want to see this come together.

Keep us posted!

Thank you I wish I change the thread name but we are going with either a 5BBL or 7BBL I've read tons and tons about breweries starting with 1bbl and have to pretty much upgrade right a way. I think with a 5bbl or 7bbl should be a good starting point. The 1 bbl was before the investor stepped into the game.

Right now im looking at glacier tanks because so far they are cheaper than most. I want to get all my equipment from one vendor.

Sorry I havent been on the threads but I have some good/bad news. Good news is investor is game for the long haul. Bad news the brewery is on hold (life got in the way) It just might take longer than expected to get it off the ground. We had the 10,000 sq facility all picked out but we decided to keep looking and use the space for our other project (non brewery related). We are hoping to get things back on track towards the end of the year after our other project takes off.
