Brewery Start-up & Expansion

With over 10 years professional brewing experience and assisting brewery startups and optimizations, we have the experience and knowledge required to advise and assist you to avoid common errors, oversights or issues of starting or expanding your brewery. We assess and analyse your current situation and construct technical and practical advice for now and the future.

Sourcing Equipment

We work with B'Brew Systems & Solutions in Belgium as our brewing equipment and engineering services supplier. Choose from existing brewery designs to tailored designs for your specific requirements. B’Brew is your go-to for premium quality equipment including:

  • Brewhouses
  • Fermentation tanks
  • Bright beer tanks
  • CIP stations

Quality Control & Management

Do you have an unknown beer quality issue that you just cannot pinpoint? Or are you unsure as to how to setup quality control systems in your new brewery? We dig deep and dissect the issue until we find the problem by the following steps:

  • Final product laboratory analyses
  • Brewing processes
  • Equipment malfunction
  • Raw materials
  • Effects of load shedding on brewing & beer (only in SA)

Then we implement procedures and quality measures to eliminate future recurring quality issues so that you have peace of mind and consistent products.

Project Management

We walk the walk with you – from the idea to commissioning. Each brewery project is unique and requires a holistic point of view as well as a hands-on approach. We work with experienced builders, architects, brewing engineers and automation electricians that understand brewery designs layouts and requirements. If you choose to have a brewpub with top notch aesthetics or a more industrial big production plant, we customize the whole plant to suit your vision. We coordinate with the contractors to deliver a seamless end product on time and in budget.

Product & Recipe Development

Do you want to launch a new beer style or simply fine-tune your current recipe? We develop new beer recipes from scratch according to your ideas or we can create a whole new beer and concept for you. We source general brewing ingredients as well as more sought-after raw materials that gives your product the x-factor. Along with developing new beer recipes goes the recipe and production costs that we calculate to ensure you reach you target margins.

Part-time Brewer / Gypsy Brewing

Did your brewer resign? Do you need a brewer to fill the gap until you find the right person for the job? We offer gypsy brewing where we offer our brewing services, including onsite brewing and production as well as remote consulting. While spending some time brewing at your plant, we write a full report on the general running of your brewery, quality checks, advice on how to streamline your brewery and processes.
