Brewpub floor plan: seven things to settle early
Before quoting a brewpub system, settle floor area, three-phase power, water and drainage, steam venting, tank placement, the glycol chiller and routes for malt and kegs.

Most surprise costs in a restaurant microbrewery come from the site rather than the equipment: floors without fall, too little power, undersized drains. Settling these seven points early keeps the quote realistic and installation quick.
- Floor area: roughly 25–40 m² for 100–200 L per batch and 60–100 m² for 300–500 L (indicative, depends on tank count).
- Power: three-phase 380 V; the load depends on heating (direct electric or steam boiler).
- Water: steady, filtered supply plus hot water for CIP cleaning.
- Drainage: stainless trench drains with the floor sloping to them, resistant to hot water and chemicals.
- Steam and ventilation: an extraction hood over the kettle, airflow in the fermentation area and around CO2 cylinders.
- Tanks and glycol: fermenter positions, a well-ventilated spot for the glycol chiller, short cooling lines.
- Access: doors wide enough for vessels and tanks; separate routes for malt in and kegs out.
Let guests see the brewhouse: polished stainless is decoration and a "brewed here" promise. Put the bar close to the cold room or keg cabinets so beer lines stay short and foam stays low.
