If you’re serious about your dreams, you’re going to need some basic equipment. When we say basic, we mean it, which is pretty much the bare minimum. So depending on what you want to extract, how much you want to produce, and what your process requires, you may need to adjust this list.
Source of water: Alcohol cannot be made without water. Distillation is essentially a process of adding and subtracting it throughout the production process, so you need a good source of water for your still. You can use limestone-rich water from streams or aquifers.
Heating unit: A heating unit is something you put the grain in with some H2O to heat everything to a certain temperature for a specified amount of time. It helps to install some piping in the cooker and send the cooked mixture to the fermenter, but the pump will suffice.
Fermentation tank: A fermentation tank is a large vessel in which you ferment grains, yeast, and water slurry. Yeast consumes sugar and produces alcohol in the process. After a few days (depending on your process) you will run the rest through the still.
Distilling equipment: This should go without saying, but to be more thorough, you will need a still to make drinkable alcohol. Also, it probably doesn’t hurt to install a drain on your floor to dispose of waste.

Yes. Not only does it cost more to open a distillery than a brewery, but you also have to comply with more norms, which means more inspections. And since spirits require a higher certification, everything in and around your building will meet higher safety standards, which means more time and money. Not to mention you’ll pay more tax on spirits than on beer.

Not at all. While there’s a huge boom right now, that’s not to say there isn’t more room to grow. Look at the craft breweries, new breweries are opening every week and the numbers are growing, as are craft spirits.

Most newly opened commercial breweries will set the size of the brewhouse to 10-30 barrels (1 barrel = 31.5 gallons = 2 big kegs = 240 pints of beer) and have fermentation tanks and bright tanks of the same size.
For new breweries whose sales and growth cannot be determined, adjusting the size of the brewery is a balance. In the beginning, using a relatively large brewhouse will put pressure on the initial expenditure, and using a smaller system will make it difficult to meet the demand and increase the cost of each batch of raw materials. You need to combine your brewing process and business growth to estimate the size of your brewhouse.
Considering the available space in the brewery, if there is not much space to add more fermentation tanks and bright tanks in the future, it is unwise to start with a large brewing system. You also need to combine the available space in the brewery and local regulations to determine the size of the brewhouse.

Starting a brewery is definitely all about making your own brewery a success and serving more people with delicious craft beer. But what should be done to be successful? You can refer to the following suggestions:
Base yourself on a niche market
Arm yourself with a solid brewery business plan
Know your budget and costs
Find a strong partner
Embrace new brewing techniques
Expect growth, don’t overextend
Maintain consistent quality
Take care of your business
