that sounds fantastic!
Curious on what "modifications" would have to be made to a wine shop to sell beer. Can you elaborate on that a little if you haven't earlier in the thread?
a little aluminum tape would go a long way here... Lookin great tho!
You must have a lot of extra money laying around....first you built your own little brew house, now you are toying with the idea of buying an old brewery...it must be nice...
I wish I were you.
Oh boy Hoss it sounds like things could be getting bigger faster than you thought.
Anyone know where I can get Sanke kegs for cheap???

Thanks. I was looking at their site and had to laugh when I read this " Trust us, we will give you more satisfaction than you expected ".
I also found this site http://www.highgravitybrew.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=2823 $10 shipping, not bad.
bet they love you long time too...
that seems like a fair price . I would talk with them about a discount on multiple kegs as I expect you need more than one
have you looked at plastic kegs?? Plastic Kegs of America I know some smaller breweries using these because of the cheaper cost. We have a few, they are not the same height as stainless kegs so if you have a mixture they are a pain in the ass but if you use all plastic they are great.
Is leasing kegs from a vendor such as Microstar (http://www.microstarkegs.com/) an option? I don't know how many/few you anticipate nor what their minimum client size is etc etc, but most of the micros around here use a lease system.

Bottling and kegging are fun because you get to see your product out there, but to support the brewery you need retail sales. For example you sell a keg to a draft account for $100, you also have to provide a tap handle, and keep the lines clean plus deliver. If you have your own tap room, you will be grossing over $400 per keg with no delivery. That cash can really support you. So I would think about a retail location. If you are interested in a spreadsheet to play with numbers, drop me a PM from our web site coloradoboy.com. Good for you, the more breweries the better!
I'd love to hear the ball-park pricing for the plastic kegs (1/6th and 1/12th). It'd be tempting to get a group-buy together for some custom "I Brewed It" engraved ones!
It's a crap shoot though I mean as long as you get back your stainless kegs they will last for ever and more than likely the plastic ones will need to be replaced I'm assuming. You know I feel like we're hijacking Hoss's thread as the new Pro-Brewer advice thread. Maybe we need to start something new.
Are there any recent pictures of the nanobrewery I have missed? The last I've seen were when you finished the cold room. I'd like to see it full of kegs and maybe something boiling or mashing...
