Here are some tips we have for you if you&#;re thinking about starting a nano-brewery.

1. Your Building. We&#;re not talking about the location &#; We&#;re talking about the building you&#;re going to base your brewery out of. It&#;s not as simple as just picking out the space with the most free room. You&#;ll want to consider other factors like city zoning, the buildings flooring, and other zone codes you may have to adhere to. It can be expensive to modify the building to meet city codes.
2. Consider the capacity of your nano breweryy. While everyone wants to start with a 15 BBL set up, but it&#;s not for everyone. A nano brewery is classified as any brewing set up under 6 BBL. Another important thing to consider is how big your location is &#; you&#;ll want to properly allocate space for the tasting room aspect.
3. Make sure your business plan is sound. Estimating your breweries capacity is crucial to calculating potential revenue and more. Check the demand of different types of beers for your location.

If you&#;d like to save a little on the start-up cost, you can look for used equipment in your area. You can potentially save as much as 40% off the list price. Another option is leasing the equipment. There&#;s many advantages that come with leasing your brewery equipment. You get to maintain your cash flow, have lower start-up costs and have more in the bank to operate.
