Brief introduction
Microbrewery is typically applied to breweries that are much smaller than large-scale corporate breweries and are independently owned, but larger than breweries for restaurant, bars etc., as it distributes beer to local restaurants and bars, parties etc. To run a micro brewery and get suitable margin from this kind of business model, we suggest to start from 1000L/brew capacity minimum that concerning both the budget limitation and expanding capacity in future. Also 2000L-3000L beer equipment are common to see for a little larger business.
The microbrewery is more professionally functional and concerns more details to brew in a more smart way, trying to decreasing the factors that may affect the brewing speed or beer flavors.
Most basic brewing process for opening a microbrewery:
Milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, whirlpool, fermentation, maturing, cooling, temperature controlling, cleaning, beer filling
