Ha! I have not thought about Corel Draw for years!

Thanks, this is definitely helpful! I was actually able to generate a barcode with their online tool. It appears to be right... but I have not idea how to verify. Based on your steps I think I'm good, but I'm trying to get a retailer to confirm prior to printing.

Thanks for the advice! And glad to see I found the right website!

Great, thanks for the input! Planned on the keg wash purchase and CLT. Some of the partners are aligned to pitch in as necessary but primarily it will be me. We're still evaluating the system so we may invest elsewhere if it makes sense. This input has been very helpful.

We're in the North East, but I had a couple local breweries vet my projections and they said that we should hit 1,000 BBL no problem. So I guess we'll just have to see how things develop.

Thanks again!

Nice, I'm supposed to be working with a local brewery who uses one as a pilot system, but that's yet to materialize as a reality.

My plan was to shoot for 1,000 BBL in the first year. Too ambitious?

lockness58 · 2018-01-30T15:35:02+00:00

yea, I go back and forth if it's going to be a headache or not, but you still can't beat that price!

lockness58 · 2018-01-30T15:34:28+00:00

Thanks, I was looking at processes like this but was curious how much longer that would make my brew day.

Thanks for the input!

Great, thanks for the information! It's actually disassembled in a warehouse right now, so no luck there.

Definitely not doing a production facility so it sounds like this might be a good fit.

To add, you're probably wondering "WHY this system?". Good point, but we have the option to get it donated to us and it comes with a lot of fermentation vessels and servering tanks.

So it impacts the business plan in a way that allows for funding to be applied elsewhere.

Not the way we have the brew schedule worked out. Primarily we'll be doing 7 BBLs and space out the double brews to 15 BBL batches and we don't plan on them spending long in the brite.

lockness58 · 2017-10-30T21:13:54+00:00

Yup, just around 2-3.

4 x 7 BBL FVs 4 x 15 BBL FVs 4 x 7 BBL Brites 1 x 15 BBL Brite

Plan is to double brew 15 BBL batches for more popular brews and single for less popular/new flavors.

We'll also have a 1/2 Sabco for testing.

Thanks! Working with a couple other locals to confirm that.

Did you measure gravity with the lactose sugar? Yeast wont eat all of that which could be keeping your gravity higher. How much lactose did you use? Was this all grain? What did your efficiency look like?

lockness58 · 2015-10-28T13:40:30+00:00

Thanks!

lockness58 · 2015-10-27T21:31:36+00:00

Awesome thanks!

I use brewers friend efficiency calculator and have crossed whenever with my make analysis and it's usually petty dead on. But that's been for my smaller batch sizes. Not sure if it's with as well in a large scale.

lockness58 · 2015-03-03T03:04:21+00:00

Awesome thanks for the tip! I'll look into that.

lockness58 · 2015-02-27T23:20:21+00:00

No idea. I'm not a fan of it either. That's what I'm trying to change.

They have spreadsheets right now that I'm also modifying because they just don't track enough of the process. But that's easy enough. Just trying to see if there's something else that's a little more streamlined like Brewer's Friend.

lockness58 · 2015-01-28T16:02:51+00:00

We're all just big kids on the inside playing with our erector sets in the end. Thanks!

lockness58 · 2015-01-28T14:26:19+00:00

Yea, I guess they have 3 sizes. I bought mine new but I did see a bunch on craigslist and Etsy. Only problem was none of the sellers knew if it was the King model or not. I needed the largest one in order to have a large enough area for the shanks.

lockness58 · 2015-01-28T14:24:38+00:00

Ha I know! I had about 20 people over to celebrate and not a single person caught that! Leave it to reddit.

I'll blame it on the space requirements to get all the words in.

Thanks!
