tldr, For those with two or three vessel breweries, how many square feet (or meters) do you devote to your brewery operations?
I am beginning some long term planning for enhancing my brewing capabilities. Right now I BIAB on my covered patio, that is about 8'x6' usable space. Since it is a single vessel this works great, and the patio cover accommodates my pulley system well. However I am thinking about what I want to do a few years from now, I think I will end up with a eHERMS sysem eventually, and I will need to move this inside.
I have a 12'x20' detached workshop that will house my brewing operations, but it is a shared space, and I will need to really think hard about what will stay and what will go to make room. I guess it is my five year plan.
So that brings me to the question: how much space do you devote to your brewery? Do you find this limiting, or maybe excessive? Does the width or even height make a big difference? Was there anything you learned that really impacted utilization of the space?
Thanks for sharing with me. Hopefully this can help others as well.
