It appears those only 42G conicals in the article. A 1BBl system is such a rough place to start.


Ouch! So they are opening a nanobrewery then.

Everything i've read says that a production nanobrewery is the quickest way to close the business before it starts. 15 barrel systems are ideal.

yep, New laws passed with the last legislative session should make it easier, but I agree it's definitely going to be tough.

You just get hammered on pricing on everything when you are such a small brewery.

I think the fermenters pictured are probably around $3K a piece assuming they are glycol jacketed conicals. That's tough when 3BBL/7BBL conicals are $5Kish and $6Kish respectively.
