This FAQ-style guide answers the most common questions about beer brewing equipment.

Q1: What size brewery equipment should I choose?

It depends on:

Most startup breweries choose 5 BBL or 10 BBL systems because they balance cost and output.

Q2: What material is best for beer brewing equipment?

Professional beer equipment should be made of:

  • Food-grade stainless steel

  • Smooth inner surface (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm)

Many breweries start semi-automatic and upgrade later.

  • Brewery layout

Customization ensures your equipment fits your space and brewing process.

Choosing the right beer brewing equipment is a long-term investment.
Correct decisions at the beginning save money and trouble later.
