Hey guys I am putting together a 1bbl system with future purpose of selling our beers. We are currently in licensing etc and so that's why I am coming up with the production line.
This is basically a pilot program (think market research/feasibility study) for a large brewpub in the next 2-3 years.
I have the actual brewing process down and am rather happy with the results and the price.
I am hitting a bit of a roadblock now on what exactly to do with the beer. The idea of bottling that much beer and then storing it is not attractive, add the consideration of buying on our scale of bottles/labels/crowns and the price per beer starts to shoot up. At the same time apparently finding sankey kegs to deliver to restaurants/bars is really really hard.
Also have worries about bottle conditioning and selling to market. I think customers will be put off by any sediment in a bottle so I would think that has to be avoided as much as possible.
So I am basically looking for advice for this end of the production. We plan to use this system to learn and experiment, but at the same time we don't want to waste money.
Anyone with any experience or ideas I would love to hear them. Any websites or books with good reliable info would also be appreciated. Thanks guys.
