Thanks for the hours of reading today. Thanks for posting in detail about your experiences. Two big thumbs up!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
It uses slits instead of holes.
Crap, that looks sweet. Where did you get that?
Just finished all 65 pages of the thread, thank you for taking the time to chronicle the ups and downs of the process and best of luck.
I someday hope to give the whole nanobrewing thing a shot. If you wouldn't mind sharing, not including the build costs of the shed, are you clearing enough extra cash to cover the rent of the space and all the materials you use? I am just trying to simplify the business down to the day to day operational basics and cash flow.
If its too private a question please feel free to ignore it,
Cheers.
Time to hit up the local businesses and take it to the next level.
How is business these days?
The MT looks real real nice. I saw a similar setup go buy on craigs once. It was a 'ice holder' for a bar. Basically a fully insulated stainless vessel like that. Will you need to heat the mash or do you think it will hold temp?
just sat through about 2 hours+ of reading this. It is great! Still new to home brewing (4 batches this past year), this thread will have me a dreaming for years to come!
I may have missed this, but how long were you HBing for when you decided to go commercial with it and what made you want to do it?
Good luck and much success to you!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I hope it helps should you decide to go pro.
I just ordered a 55 gallon brew kettle so I can start brewing bigger batches and expanding my market.
If you brew it, they will come.
Did the 7bbl system fall through?
Wow, i hope your next year (ie this year) is better than last, and continued growth for many years to come.
I have a question though, how is your water supplied to the brewery? Do you just have a hose or did you bury water lines? If you just have a "temporary" service was TTB OK with that?
Oh, why do they hate beer so much?
From the Ohio Department of Liquor Control:
Manufacturer Permits:
Permit Class-----Permit Fee-----Description
A1----------------$3,906---------ORC 4303.02 Manufacturer of beer, ale, stout and other malt liquors.
A2----------------$76-------------ORC 4303.03 Manufacturer of wine.
so..... what are you doing with your old blichmans?
OUCH!I suppose they look at beer drinkers as not refined as much as winers.
I fine it "weeners" more fitting in my area.
I can be a Equal Opportunity Offender.
Scott, time to look into a 22 gallon Brewhemoth fermenter, $459 with all Tri-Clamp fitting options added plus free shipping and built like a tank. You can't taste "BLING".
I have a 50 gallon fermenter, I just need to go pick it up. Probably this weekend. 22 gallon would be too small since I'll be doing 31 gallon batches.
Scott, give Dale or Josh a shout at Brewhemoth I recall they can also make larger fermenters, very flexible with custom builds just tell them what you want. Worth a try?
Got snow?
