1
What basic conditions are required for building a brewery? What are the requirements for water, electricity, and drainage?

Electricity: 380V/220V three-phase power, voltage can be customized according to equipment power;

Water: Food-grade tap water, hardness ≤10°;

Drainage: Independent wastewater discharge, conforming to food processing wastewater discharge standards;

Well-ventilated site, far from pollution sources.

2
How is the equipment installed? Do you provide on-site installation and commissioning? Do you provide brewing recipes and technical training?

Overseas, we offer on-site installation and commissioning by engineers, providing full guidance throughout the process; we also offer remote video guidance with accompanying installation drawings for customers to assemble themselves. We provide a free classic craft brewing recipe; our engineers provide hands-on training during on-site visits, covering the entire process from mashing and fermentation to filtration and bottling.

3
What are the payment methods and installment payment ratios?

Our standard payment method is wire transfer (T/T). A 50% deposit is required to start production, and the remaining 50% is due before shipment.

4
How long is the warranty? How is after-sales service handled overseas?

Stainless steel tanks have a 5-year warranty, electronic components and auxiliary equipment have a 1-year warranty; we provide 24/7 online English after-sales service overseas, with fast global shipping of parts and the ability to connect with local repair partners.

5
Besides brewing equipment, do you have bottling, sterilization, and labeling equipment?

We offer a complete set of equipment for one-stop purchasing: manual/semi-automatic filling machines, beer bottle/can filling lines, sterilizers, labeling machines, taps, beer spears, and beer kegs, covering the entire process from brewing to finished product.

6
Can I upgrade and expand my production capacity later?

We support modular expansion. We can directly add fermentation tanks and upgrade the saccharification system without replacing the entire equipment. The initial investment is reusable, reducing upgrade costs.

7
What is the approximate budget for building a small brewery?

Excluding site renovation, equipment reference only:

· 100–300L Micro-brewery: USD 12,000–30,000;

· 500L Standard small brewery: USD 35,000–60,000;

· 1000L Commercial small brewery: USD 70,000–120,000; Includes complete mashing, fermentation, refrigeration, cleaning, and control systems.

8
What is the approximate production cost of beer? What is the profit margin?

 The raw material cost for craft beer is approximately USD 0.8–1.5/liter, with a retail price of USD 4–10/liter. Gross profit margins can reach over 70%, and small-batch craft brewing commands a high premium.

9
Are the ongoing consumable and maintenance costs high?

Consumables are limited to cleaning fluid, sealing rings, and filter cartridges; annual maintenance costs are extremely low. Stainless steel equipment has a lifespan of 20–50 years and a low failure rate.

10
How many types of beer can one set of equipment brew? Can it produce IPA, stout, and fruit beer?

One set of equipment can brew all craft beer categories: lager, IPA, stout, wheat beer, fruit beer, and sour beer. Only the raw materials, recipe, and fermentation parameters need to be adjusted.

11
Is the equipment fully automatic or semi-automatic?

The mashing section can be either semi-automatic or fully automatic with PLC intelligent control. Temperature control is fully automatic.

12
What certifications can you provide for equipment exported to Europe/the US? Does it comply with local regulations?

We can provide CE, ISO, FDA, and UL certifications for the complete equipment set. Electrical components and pressure tanks comply with EU and North American food machinery standards. We can also assist clients with local brewery registration.
