Not sure where to start. Any guidance or info would be much appreciative.
Billy356 said:You start by getting a job at a microbrewery. Two reasons....you need to learn the business and you need money.
Money wise you need enough to cover an entire year of expenses before you even sign a lease. That's everything from rent to equipment to salaries.... You will need a loan at some point to cover this seed money and no one will lend to someone without experience.
It my dream and very serious about it..I'm in the service active duty and iam getting out...idk where to start on a business plan... Lol...need some guidance
truebe said:it is expensive so here are a few pointers to get you started:
-first of all save money by building a very small system and just brewing over and over again to meet demand.
-cleaning, sanitation, temperature control, and yeast handling are all over-rated so save money in those areas where you can.
-when developing your beer recipes a good rule of thumb is to take a classic style and just increase the alcohol by 5%.
If you have any questions then start this same thread in a new forum and I will try to get to it.
The FDA is not likely to be the regulatory agency. In GA we were under the department of agriculture. They did the sanitary process inspections. Remember, according to our government beer is not food.

The FDA might even be able to help, they helped get me the needed info to take my hot sauce to market. Also getting an idea(not buying but thinking) about where youd like to be located that will be financially feasible, have needed space with room to expand, and is gonna pass all government regulations and inspection. Just my thoughts if it helps any.
