Factors To Consider When Buying A 5 Bbl Brewing System

By Sarah Patterson


You may be thinking of acquiring new equipment but you do not know where to start. Yes getting a new system can be complicated. If the right steps are not followed you will end up making a lot of mistakes and spending a lot of money than what you had budgeted for. If you want to buy a 5 bbl brewing system then here are some of the things you should know.

Now before you go shopping you have to be clear on why you are acquiring these equipment. If it is for business even if you are just starting out buy a big one that way you will be able to meet your production goals. This is because it works best for commercial purposes but if one cannot afford a big one then you can start with one that is as small as 3 BBL. However if you are just a home brewer you can get a small one that suits your needs.

If you may be starting out in business as a brewer then consider going for the smaller size unless of course your production goals are high. The risks you make will be less and in case business takes long to pick up you will make very little losses. However, if you are already in business and thinking of expanding it then you can go for the larger one.

Home brewers do not really need big systems. You can get a small one that fits within the space of your home. Depending on the number of people that will be enjoying beer from your home pick one that suits your needs. Small systems are easy and quick to install compared to larger types. But, if you plan to be having many people over to drink beer then feel free to get a bigger size.

At times it is hard for brewers to get these systems. If you wait until the time you want to start brewing beer to purchase new equipment then you may end up being very disappointed. Make orders of the equipment that you want early enough especially when making purchases from manufacturers that are in a different country that yours.

Figure out if one will be buying a new or old equipment. This will help in determining how much money you will be investing. A new 3.5 bbl system will cost you more money than an old one. Get in touch with different dealers of these products so that you can know the different prices and then decide on what is good for you.

You may be a busy person that does not have time to fix the equipment. Some manufacturers will come and install the equipment on your behalf but is some cases you will have to either do it yourself or hire someone to do the work for you. If you have to get a person then they need to know how these systems work in the first place. They also have to know how to fix them so find someone with prior experience.

Find out the best manufacturers that sell these systems to brewers either locally or online. Get in touch with them so that you can see what they have got to offer. Talk to several of them so that you can be able to know the different kinds of systems in the market, prices and functions.
