Craft Brewery Workshop

Craft Brewery Workshop (Factory) Construction Program


With the rise of the craft beer industry, a large number of craft beer workshops (plants) have been bred, and there are many differences between these workshops and traditional mass beer in terms of raw materials and auxiliary materials, production processes and equipment settings.

Construction plan
One. Site selection for building a workshop (factory)

The address should have more convenient transportation conditions, if it needs to be built near the highway, the shortest distance is good to save investment.
It should be in line with the regional economic development plan, occupy as little arable land as possible, have more convenient facilities, and pay attention to environmental protection.
There are two types of land available for craft brewery construction: one is to purchase industrial land and the other is to lease a standard factory. Because of the high power consumption and the impact of power restrictions on production, a location with sufficient power supply should be chosen. Beer production has water pollution and noise pollution factors, so it should be far away from residential areas.

Second. The construction of the workshop (factory) with the regional function

The internal equipment of the craft beer workshop should be compactly arranged to meet the current specification requirements, but also to meet the needs of production, not only to reduce energy consumption but also to facilitate cleanliness and hygiene and visit, but also to avoid production obstacles and safety hazards; according to the nature and content of the operation of the entire production function of the craft beer workshop, it can be divided into production, storage, management and other parts. The production function area can be further subdivided into material area to be produced, crushing area, saccharification area, fermentation area, packaging area, refrigeration area, inspection area, cleaning area and other areas.

Third. The construction workshop (factory) has energy supply requirements

1、Power supply requirements

Brewing beer process, do not allow longer power outages, otherwise it will cause greater economic losses. Therefore, there should be sufficient power supply for production.

2、Heating requirements

The beer brewing process of saccharification, cleaning, sterilization and other processes require adequate heat resources.

Fourth. The construction of the workshop (plant) water supply and drainage functional requirements

One of the most important raw materials for a brewery is water, so the water supply and drainage resources are first and foremost safe drinking water. At the same time, the plant should be built to achieve a diversion system for the water supply and drainage system. Rainwater can be open ditch, sewage must be treated by sewage into the city network.

Fifth. The construction of the workshop (plant) environmental protection requirements

External emissions of exhaust gas, wastewater, slag, dust, noise and other pollutant types and emission locations, to meet the construction, emission specifications.

Sixth. The construction of the workshop (plant) equipment management and

Other considerations

1、High-speed running equipment, high-temperature pipelines, etc. have dangerous potential, it is recommended to set or mark safety warning signs.

2. A large amount of carbon dioxide will be produced or used in the production process, so it is recommended that the relevant personnel be regularly trained on the standard operating procedures to reduce the risk.

3、The craft brewery workshop needs to lay a good foundation for safe production in the construction process, both in terms of construction and production management. No matter what raw materials are used and what kind of process is adopted, the production process should be strictly controlled, the product quality should be done well and safe production should be ensured in order to make qualified beer and provide consumers with good quality, safe and personalized craft beer.
